Answer:
Reagent O₂ will be consumed first.
Explanation:
The balanced reaction between O₂ and C₄H₁₀ is:
2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O
Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following amounts of reactants and products participate in the reaction:
Being:
The molar mass of the compounds that participate in the reaction is:
Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of reactants and products participate in the reaction:
If 78.1 g of O₂ react, it is possible to apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 416 g of O₂ react with 116 g of C₄H₁₀, 62.4 g of C₄H₁₀ with how much mass of O₂ do they react?
[tex]mass of O_{2} =\frac{416grams of O_{2}*62.4 grams ofC_{4}H_{10} }{116 grams of C_{4}H_{10}}[/tex]
mass of O₂= 223.78 grams
But 21.78 grams of O₂ are not available, 78.1 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 62.4 g of C₄H₁₀, reagent O₂ will be consumed first.
