Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{31.8 g CO}_{2}}

Explanation:

We are given the masses of two reactants and asked to determine the mass of the product.

This looks like a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble the information

We will need a balanced equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.  

MM:         114.23     32.00      44.01

               2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Mass/g:     10.3        69.  

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

\text{Moles of C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} = \text{10.3 g C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}}{\text{114.23 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}} = \text{0.090 17 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}\\\\\text{Moles of O$_{2}$} = \text{69. g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O$_{2}$}}{\text{32.00 g O$_{2}$}} = \text{2.16 mol O$_{2}$}

3. Calculate the moles of CO₂ from each reactant

\textbf{From C$_{8}$H$_{18}$:}\\\text{Moles of CO$_{2}$} =  \text{0.090 17 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{2 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}} = \text{0.7214 mol CO}_{2}\\\\\textbf{From O$_{2}$:}\\\text{Moles of CO$_{2}$} =\text{2.16 molO$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{25 mol O$_{2}$}} = \text{1.38 mol CO$_{2}$}\\\\\text{Octane is the limiting reactant because it gives fewer moles of CO$_{2}$.}

4. Calculate the mass of CO₂

\text{ Mass of CO$_{2}$} = \text{0.7214 mol CO$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{44.01 g CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}} = \textbf{31.8 g CO}_\mathbf{{2}}\\\\\text{The reaction produces $\large \boxed{\textbf{31.8 g CO}_\mathbf{{2}}}$}

The answer is motion, this is what I would go with because when you are dealing with gases it puts motion in the term of particles.
