Answer:
The answer to your question is 0.4 moles of Oxygen
Explanation:
Data
Octane (C₈H₈)
Oxygen (O₂)
Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
Water (H₂O)
moles of water = ?
moles of Oxygen = 1
Balanced chemical reaction
C₈H₈ +10O₂ ⇒ 8CO₂ + 4H₂O
Reactant Element Products
8 C 8
8 H 8
20 O 20
Use proportions to solve this problem
10 moles of Oxygen ----------------- 4 moles of water
1 mol of Oxygen ------------------ x
x = (4 x 1) / 10
x = 4 / 10
x = 0.4 moles of water

Hope this helps
It would be in the fourth shell.
There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products
Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction
Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products
You can balance,
1)by just looking at it
2)by Algebraic method given above or
3)by the redox method
You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method
