Answer:
976.8 g
Explanation:
C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂ → 5CO₂ + 6H₂0 ------------(1)
number of moles of reaction 1 can be shown as;
1 : 8 → 5 : 6
thus, 5 moles of CO₂ will form from the combustion of 1 mole of C₅H₁₂
molecular weight of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
molecular weight of C₅H₁₂ = 72 g/mol
mass of C₅H₁₂ = 320 g
number of moles of C₅H₁₂ = mass ÷ molecular weight = 320 / 72 = 4.44 moles
thus, number of moles of CO₂ formed = 5 * 4.44 = 22.2 moles
mass of CO₂ formed = 22.2* 44 = 976.8 g
