Answer:
B
Explanation:
it's on the internet and I just know because I did this before too
In the complete combustion of 1.60 moles of benzene, C6H6, 12 moles of oxygen, O2, is consumed.
Combustion is defined as the process of burning something. In chemistry, combustion refers to the chemical process between a fuel and an oxidant, usually oxygen to produce heat and light in the form of flame.
In a complete combustion, oxygen is sufficient to react with any hydrocarbons to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Balancing the combustion reaction of benzene, we have:
2C6H6 + 15 O2 = 12CO2 + 6H2O
Based on the balanced combustion reaction above, 2 moles of benzene requires 15 moles of oxygen to have a complete combustion.
If we have 1.60 moles C6H6,
moles O2 = mole ratio x mole of benzene
moles O2 = (15 moles O2/2 moles C6H6) x 1.60 moles C6H6
moles O2 = 12
