Answer: D) 1.6 mol

Explanation:

This is a stoichiometry problem that uses the ratios of the coefficients of the chemical equation. We see from the equation that 2 moles of C4H10 produces 10 moles of H20.  

Now if we had 8 moles of H20 then we must have started with 1.6 moles of C4H10. This is because

[tex]\frac{2 \, \, \text{moles C4H10}}{10 \, \, \text{moles H2O}} = \frac{x \, \, \text{moles C4H10}}{8 \, \, \text{moles H2O}}\\[/tex]

This gives us x = 1.6 moles of C4H10
