Question 12 • Physical Science

What else is produced during the combustion of butane, cap c sub 4 cap h sub 10 ? 2 cap c sub 4 cap h sub 10 plus 13 cap o sub 2 rightarrow 8 ________ plus 10 cap h sub 2 cap o

Answer
A
cap o sub 2
B
cap h sub 2 cap o
C
cap c sub 4 cap h sub 10
D
CO sub 2

Explanation

Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide and water. In the equation, 2 C₄H₁₀ contains 8 carbon atoms, so the missing product must include 8 CO₂ to balance the carbon: 2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O. Therefore, the missing product is carbon dioxide.
