Cigarette lighters contain a fuel called butane. Butane is a gas at room temperature but is stored as a liquid under
pressure in the lighter.
In order to measure the volume of gas released from the lighter, you can measure the volume of water displaced from an
inverted measuring cylinder. The lighter valve must be released under water and the bubbles directed cylinder.
A student wished to determine the volume of oxygen that would be required to achieve complete combustion of all of the butane in a lighter.
Using the method shown above, he found that the butane displaced 1420mL of water from the measuring cylinder. Air temperature in the room was 25°C.
(a) Determine the volume of oxygen at 25°C that would be required to achieve complete combustion of this volume of butane. Include a balanced equation in your answer.
