A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod
Olin [163]

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g

Which is less likely to be a relatable source of information the webpage of a university or the webpage a scientist who is tryin
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The web page of a university

Explanation:

A scientist can be more biased within coming to information about pretty much anything. I have had multiple science teachers who seem more biased on to something else and pretend that they're right just cause they know what they are doing.

Then the university would be a great choice because its controlled by a higher state, then also the consistency of being updated.
