Butane, \rm C_4H_{10}, is a component of natural gas that is used as fuel for cigarette lighters. The balanced equation of the complete combustion of butane is
\rm 2C_4H_{10}{\it (g)}+13\rm O_2{\it(g)}\rightarrow 8CO_2{\it(g)}+ 10\rm H_2O{\it(l)}
At 1.00 \rm atm and 23 ^\circ\rm C, what is the volume of carbon dioxide formed by the combustion of 1.60 g of butane?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
  volume of \rm CO_2  =2.68  L
Correct
