When the following equation is balanced:

\[ \text{C}_4\text{H}_{10} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]

What is the coefficient of \(\text{CO}_2\)?

a. 2
b. 4
c. 8
d. 10
e. 13

Answer (2)

It should looks like this 8CO_2+10H_2O"> 2 C 4 ​ H 10 ​ + 13 O 2 ​ − > 8 C O 2 ​ + 10 H 2 ​ O

The balanced equation for the combustion of butane shows that the coefficient of CO₂ is 8. By balancing the carbon and hydrogen atoms first, we determined the necessary amount of oxygen. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option b, 8.
