When given an equation, such as combustion of an alkane. I know how to calculate the mass of a gas when the two masses of the reactants are given. E.g. to do with limiting and excess reactant, calculating which one is limiting and then using the ratios to calculate each ones no. of moles..
But I don't know how to calculate the mass of a reactant when only one mass of a reactant is given?
This is the question i'm stuck on:
Calculate the mass of this gas produced when 1 tonne of decane is burnt. C10H22 + 6.5O2 ---> 10CO2 + 11H20
Can anyone help me on this?
