Answer:

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Explanation:

5C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+15H_2O

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )

Moles benzene =\frac{0.03 g}{78 g/mol}=0.0003846 mol

According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:

\frac{15}{5}\times 0.0003846 mol=0.0011538 mol of oxygen gas

Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:

0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.
