Question

Given the following equation:2C4H10+13O2 -> 8CO2+10H2OShow what the following mole to mole ratios should be:A. C4H10/O2B. O2/CO2C. O2/H2OD. C4H10/CO2E. C4H10/H2O

Answer 1

They give us the balanced equation of the reaction. To know the ratios of each relationship we must see the coefficients that accompany the molecules, these will be the terms of the ratio. As follows:

2C4H10

13O2

8CO2

10H2O

Now we will replace these values according to the requested relation and simplify to the minimum possible expression:

`A.(2C_4H_(10))/(13O_2)`
`B.(13O_2)/(8CO_2)`
`C.(13O_2)/(10H_2O)`
`D.(2C_4H_(10))/(8CO_2)=(1C_4H_(10))/(4CO_2)`
`E.(2C_4H_(10))/(10H_2O)=(1C_4H_(10))/(5H_2O)`
