Answer:
51.2g of CO2
Explanation:
The first step is to balance the reaction equation as shown in the solution attached. Without balancing the reaction equation, one can never obtain the correct answer! Then obtain the masses of octane reacted and carbon dioxide produced from the stoichiometric equation. After that, we now compare it with what is given as shown in the image attached.
Each neutral carbon atom contains four valence electrons and may form up to four electron domains. Possible hybridizations include
Molecules of each of the three hybridization demonstrate spatial configurations that would maximizes the separation between the electron domains.
Bond angles are characteristic of the spatial configuration of electron domains and identifies the hybridization of the central carbon atom.
Note that each hydrogen atom contains only one valence electron and would form only single bonds. It takes two valence electrons for oxygen atoms to achieve an octet such that each oxygen form only two bonds at a single time. Therefore given the fact that the carbon is bonded to both hydrogen and oxygen, only the following hybridizations are possible
