how many grams of oxygen are required to react with 11.0 grams of octane ( c8h18 ) in the combustion of octane in gasoline?

Sagot :

The grams of oxygen that are required to react with 11.0 grams of octane is 38.6 grams.

The balanced chemical reaction can be depicted as follows:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2 O₂ ------> 8CO₂ +9 H₂O

Atomic mass of C = 12 u

Atomic mass of H = 1 u

Atomic mass of O = 16 u

Molar mass of C₈H₁₈ = 8*12+18*1 = 96+18 = 114 g/mol  .

Molar mass of O₂= 2*16 = 32 g/mol

Mass of C₈H₁₈  = 11 g

Moles = mass/molar mass

Moles of Octane = 11 g/ 114(g/mol) = 0.09649 mol  .

From balanced chemical reaction :

1 mol Octane ------> 12.5 mol O₂

0.09649 mol octane -----> x

x = 0.09649 mol octane* 12.5 mol O₂/1 mol octane

x = 1.206 mol O₂

Moles of Oxygen = 1.206 mol

Mass of oxygen= moles of oxygen* molar mass of oxygen

Mass of oxygen= 1.206 mol * 32 (g/mol) = 38.59 g≅38.6 g
