The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
The combustion of propane (C3H8) in the presence of excess oxygen yields 
and 
When only 2.5 mol of 
are consumed in order to complete the reaction, ________ mol of are produced.
Answer: Thus when 2.5 mol of are consumed in their reaction, 1.5 mol of are produced
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation is:
According to stoichiometry :
5 moles of produce = 3 moles of
Thus 2.5 moles of will produce = 
moles of
Thus when 2.5 mol of are consumed in their reaction, 1.5 mol of are produced
