Answers:
8.70 g
Step-by-step explanation:
We know we will need a balanced equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s <em>gather all the information</em> in one place.
M_r: 32.00 44.01
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 18H₂O
m/g: 9.88
(a) Calculate the <em>moles of O₂
</em>
n = 9.88 g O₂ ×1 mol O₂ /32.00 g O₂
n = 0.3088 mol O₂
(b) Calculate the <em>moles of CO₂</em>
The molar ratio is (16 mol CO₂/25 mol O₂)
n = 0.3088 mol O₂ × (16 mol CO₂/25 mol O₂)
n = 0.1976 mol CO₂
(c) Calculate the <em>mass of CO₂
</em>
Mass of CO₂ = 0.1976 mol CO₂ × (44.01 g CO₂/1 mol CO₂)
Mass of CO₂ = 8.70 g CO₂
Option c would be the correct answer
