The balanced equation for this combustion reaction is
2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
(There are 8 C, 20 H, and 26 O on each side of the equation)
From the balanced equation, the mole ratios between C4H10 : O2 is 2 : 13 and O2 : CO2 is 13 : 8
Liters of C4H10 = 26.0 L of O2 x 2 L of C4H10 / 13 L of O2 = 4.00 liters of butane gas (C4H10) undergoes the complete combustion
Liters of CO2 = 26.0 L of O2 x 8 L of CO2 / 13 L of O2 = 16 liters of CO2 produced
