The motion of particles can be changed by the temperature you put it at.
The combustion reaction of octane is as follow,
C₈H₁₈ + 25/2 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O
According to balance equation,
8 moles of CO₂ are released when = 114.23 g (1 mole) Octane is reacted
So,
6.20 moles of CO₂ will release when = X g of Octane is reacted
Solving for X,
X = (114.23 g × 6.20 mol) ÷ 8 mol
X = 88.52 g of Octane
Result:
88.52 g of Octane is needed to release 6.20 mol CO₂.
I know I'm super late to answering this because it's a two week old question, but I'll just answer it any way lol.
The main reason why modern chemistry is considered scientific is because to confirm their results, scientists use the scientific method.
Since it was specifically stated that heat is released, therefore
heat is located on the right side of the reaction equation. Also stating the
states of each compound, the complete balanced reaction would be:
C2H5OH (l) + 3 02 (g) -----> 2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (g) + 1235
