How many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced from the complete combustion of 13.6 moles of butane?

54.4 mol

Explanation:

the equation for complete combustion of butane is

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ---> 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

molar ratio of butane to CO₂ is 2:8

this means that for every 2 mol of butane that reacts with excess oxygen, 8 mol of CO₂ is produced

when 2 mol of C₄H₁₀ reacts - 8 mol of CO₂ is produced

therefore when 13.6 mol of C₄H₁₀ reacts - 8/2 x 13.6 mol = 54.4 mol of CO₂ is produced

therefore 54.4 mol of CO₂ is produced

Oxygen receives two electrons from magnesium.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Magnesium atom will loose two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form magnesium cation with +2 charge.

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

Oxygen atom will gain two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form oxide ion with -2 charge.

Thus and combine to form .
