Answer:
1. Carbon and hydrogen
2. The ratio is C : H => 4 : 10
3. C4H10
Explanation:
1. Butane is made up carbon (C) and hydrogen (H)
2. Butane is the 4th member of the alkane series
The alkanes has generated formula CnH2n+2
Butane is number 4 in the family i.e n = 4
Butane => CnH2n+2
Butane => C4H2x4 +2
Butane => C4H8+2
Butane => C4H10
Therefore, the ratio of carbon and hydrogen in butane is:
C : H => 4 : 10
3. Butane contain carbon and hydrogen in the ratio 4 : 10. Therefore, butane is represented as C4H10
