Butane and oxygen were allowed to completely react at 540 torr and 298 K. After
the exothermic reaction, 620 L of CO2 was collected at 823 K and 750 torr. How
many liters of O2 gas at 540 torr and 298 K were consumed?
2 C,H10 (8) + 13 0,(8) →800,() + 10 H2O(g)

Respuesta :

Answer: 510 L of oxygen gas were consumed.

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of gas = 750 torr = 0.99 atm   (760 torr= 1atm)

V = Volume of gas = 620 L

n = number of moles of carbon dioxide = ?

R = gas constant =[tex]0.0821Latm/Kmol[/tex]

T =temperature =[tex]823K[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{0.99atm\times 620L}{0.0821L atm/K mol\times 823K}=9.08moles[/tex]

[tex]2C_4H_{10}+13O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O[/tex]

According to stoichiometry:

8 moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex] are produced by = 13 moles of oxygen

Thus 9.08 moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex] are produced by = [tex]\frac{13}{8}\times 9.08=14.8[/tex] moles of oxygen

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of gas = 540 torr = 0.71 atm   (760 torr= 1atm)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of oxygen = 14.8

R = gas constant =[tex]0.0821Latm/Kmol[/tex]

T =temperature =[tex]298K[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{nRT}{P}[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{14.8mol\times 0.0821L atm/K mol\times 298K}{0.71atm}=510L[/tex]

Thus 510 L of oxygen gas were consumed.
