Let's solve question 4 parts (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv), and (c)(ii)(I), (c)(ii)(II).

Question 4(a)(ii): Write a balanced equation to show the complete combustion of butane.

Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation for the complete combustion of butane (C4H10\text{C}_{4}\text{H}_{10}).

C4H10+O2⟶CO2+H2O\text{C}_{4}\text{H}_{10} + \text{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \text{CO}_{2} + \text{H}_{2}\text{O}

Step 2: Balance the carbon atoms.

C4H10+O2⟶4CO2+H2O\text{C}_{4}\text{H}_{10} + \text{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 4\text{CO}_{2} + \text{H}_{2}\text{O}

Step 3: Balance the hydrogen atoms.

C4H10+O2⟶4CO2+5H2O\text{C}_{4}\text{H}_{10} + \text{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 4\text{CO}_{2} + 5\text{H}_{2}\text{O}

Step 4: Balance the oxygen atoms.

C4H10+132O2⟶4CO2+5H2O\text{C}_{4}\text{H}_{10} + \frac{13}{2}\text{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 4\text{CO}_{2} + 5\text{H}_{2}\text{O}

Step 5: Multiply the entire equation by 2 to remove the fraction.

2C4H10+13O2⟶8CO2+10H2O\boxed{2\text{C}_{4}\text{H}_{10} + 13\text{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 8\text{CO}_{2} + 10\text{H}_{2}\text{O}}

Question 4(a)(iii): Calculate the molar mass of butane given that C=12 and H=1.

Step 1: Identify the atomic masses and the chemical formula of butane (C4H10\text{C}_{4}\text{H}_{10}).
Atomic mass of C = 12 g/mol12 \text{ g/mol}
Atomic mass of H = 1 g/mol1 \text{ g/mol}

Step 2: Calculate the molar mass.

Molar mass of C4H10=(4×12 g/mol)+(10×1 g/mol)\text{Molar mass of C}_{4}\text{H}_{10} = (4 \times 12 \text{ g/mol}) + (10 \times 1 \text{ g/mol}) Molar mass of C4H10=48 g/mol+10 g/mol\text{Molar mass of C}_{4}\text{H}_{10} = 48 \text{ g/mol} + 10 \text{ g/mol} Molar mass of C4H10=58 g/mol\text{Molar mass of C}_{4}\text{H}_{10} = 58 \text{ g/mol}

The molar mass of butane is:

58 g/mol\boxed{58 \text{ g/mol}}

Question 4(a)(iv): How many moles are present in 11.6 g of Butane?

Step 1: Use the formula for the number of moles.
