Description
The complete combustion of octane, C8H18, the main component of gasoline, proceeds as shown below.
2 C8H18(l) + 25 O2(g) → 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(l)
(a) How many moles of O2 are needed to burn 1.00 mol of C8H18?
(b) How many grams of O2 are needed to burn 1.75 g of C8H18?
(c) Octane has a density of 0.692 g/mL at 20°C. How many grams of O2 are required to burn 3.35 gal of C8H18?
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
a) ratio=2:25
25/2 =12.5moles
b) 12x8 + 18=114
32x1.75/114
=0.49122g
c) m=density x volume
=0.692x3.35
=2.3182g
