The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The balanced equation for the combustion of butane `(C₄H₁₀)` in oxygen is: \[ 2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g) \rightarrow 8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(l) \] ### Step 2: Determine the moles of butane burned Given that 5.0 L of butane is burned, we need to calculate the volume of carbon dioxide produced based on the stoichiometry of the reaction. ### Step 3: Use stoichiometry to find the volume of CO₂ produced From the balanced equation, we see that: - 2 volumes of butane produce 8 volumes of carbon dioxide. Using the ratio: \[ \text{Volume of } CO₂ = \left( \frac{8 \text{ L } CO₂}{2 \text{ L } C₄H₁₀} \right) \times 5.0 \text{ L } C₄H₁₀ \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Volume of } CO₂ = \frac{8}{2} \times 5.0 = 20 \text{ L} \] ### Step 4: Apply the Ideal Gas Law to find the volume of CO₂ under experimental conditions Now we need to find the volume of CO₂ at the given experimental conditions: 67°C and 2 bar pressure. First, convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin: \[ T_2 = 67 + 273 = 340 \text{ K} \] We will use the Ideal Gas Law: \[ \frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2} \] Where: - \( P_1 = 1.013 \text{ bar} \) (normal pressure) - \( V_1 = 20 \text{ L} \) (volume of CO₂ at normal conditions) - \( T_1 = 273 \text{ K} \) (normal temperature) - \( P_2 = 2 \text{ bar} \) (given pressure) - \( V_2 \) = volume of CO₂ at experimental conditions - \( T_2 = 340 \text{ K} \) (given temperature) ### Step 5: Rearranging the equation to solve for \( V_2 \) Rearranging gives: \[ V_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1 T_2}{T_1 P_2} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the values into the equation Substituting the known values: \[ V_2 = \frac{(1.013 \text{ bar}) \times (20 \text{ L}) \times (340 \text{ K})}{(273 \text{ K}) \times (2 \text{ bar})} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( V_2 \) Calculating this gives: \[ V_2 = \frac{1.013 \times 20 \times 340}{273 \times 2} \approx 12.62 \text{ L} \] ### Final Answer The volume of carbon dioxide evolved is approximately **12.62 L**. ---
