Stoichiometry Help
Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2017 7:15 pm
I need help with this problem.
A certain rocket uses butane, C4H10, as fuel. How many kilograms of liquid oxygen should be carried for the complete combustion of each 1.00 kg of butane to carbon dioxide and water vapor?
What I have so far:
2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O <-- Balanced Equation
1 mole C4H10 = 58g
1 mole O2 = 32g
