Answer:
The answer to your question is 0.4 moles of Oxygen
Explanation:
Data
Octane (C₈H₈)
Oxygen (O₂)
Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
Water (H₂O)
moles of water = ?
moles of Oxygen = 1
Balanced chemical reaction
C₈H₈ +10O₂ ⇒ 8CO₂ + 4H₂O
Reactant Element Products
8 C 8
8 H 8
20 O 20
Use proportions to solve this problem
10 moles of Oxygen ----------------- 4 moles of water
1 mol of Oxygen ------------------ x
x = (4 x 1) / 10
x = 4 / 10
x = 0.4 moles of water
Given in the problem is the mass of the liquid (500 grams) and the volume of the liquid (1000 ml = 1000 cm^3).
We can use these two givens to calculate the density of the liquid using the following rule:
density = mass / volume
density = 500 / 1000 = 0.5 grams / cm^3
Comparing the calculated density with the choices we have, we can deduce that the liquid is most likely to be propane with density 0.494 g / cm^3
CATGGATCCA for future reference this is considered biology, you may get a quicker response if you categorize it as such :)
