Combustion of hydrocarbons such as butane () produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. for this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.1. write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of gaseous butane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.2. suppose 0.360 kg of butane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 20.0 °c. calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

1.

The balanced chemical reaction

2.

The produced volume of carbondioxide is 596.6 L.

Explanation:

1.

The combustion of butane in the presence of atmospheric oxygen to form carbondioxide.

The balanced chemical reaction is as follows.

2.

from the given,

Mass of butane = 0.360 kg = 360 gm

Let's convert the kg into moles

Molar mass of butane = 58.12 g/mol

From the reaction 2 moles of butane gives 8 moles of carbon dioxide.

Hence,

Let's calculate the volume of carbondioxide:

Rearrange the formula is as follows.

n= Number of moles = 24.8 moles

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K

T =  Temperature = 20 c = 20+273 = 293 K

P = Pressure = 1 atm

Substitute the all values in equation (1) then we get  volume of carbondioxide.

Therefore, The produced volume of carbondioxide is 596.6 L.

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.

a compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
