Answer

Water formed during combustion of 26.7 g butane =$ 41.4 g$

Work Step by Step

$2 C_{4}H_{10} + 13H_{2}O → 8CO_{2} + 10 H_{2}O$ The above equation is the balanced equation for the combustion of butane. Molecular mass of butane $C_{4}H_{10} = 4 \times 12 + 10 \times1$ = 58 g According to stoichiometry we can write, 116 g butane yields 180 g water. Therefore water formed during combustion of 26.7 g butane = $ (26.7 \times180) \div 116 = 41.4 g$
