Answer:

$m_{C_8H_{18}}=85.67gC_8H_{18}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given combustion reaction of octane, it is possible for us to perform the stoichiometric method in order to calculate the mass of octane that is required to consume 300.0 g of oxygen by considering the 2:25 mole ratio, and the molar masses of 114.22 g/mol and 32.00 g/mol respectively:

$m_{C_8H_{18}}=300.0gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32.00gO_2}*\frac{2molC_8H_{18}}{25molO_2}*\frac{114.22gC_8H_{18}}{1molC_8H_{18}} \\\\m_{C_8H_{18}}=85.67gC_8H_{18}$

A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g
