Cork floats in water because the cork weighs less than the amount of water that it would have to push up to sink. This basically says that since cork is less dense than water, it floats.

How many grams of octane (C8H18) must be burned to produce 300.0g of CO2?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

$m_{C_8H_{18}}=85.67gC_8H_{18}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given combustion reaction of octane, it is possible for us to perform the stoichiometric method in order to calculate the mass of octane that is required to consume 300.0 g of oxygen by considering the 2:25 mole ratio, and the molar masses of 114.22 g/mol and 32.00 g/mol respectively:

$m_{C_8H_{18}}=300.0gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32.00gO_2}*\frac{2molC_8H_{18}}{25molO_2}*\frac{114.22gC_8H_{18}}{1molC_8H_{18}} \\\\m_{C_8H_{18}}=85.67gC_8H_{18}$

Regards!
