Answer to Question #312322 in General Chemistry for Ivan Ackerman

Question

If 2.98 mol of  C5H12 reacts with excess O2, how many moles of 

CO2 will be produced by the following combustion reaction?

C5H12+8O2⟶6H2O+5CO2

Answer 1

C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂ ⟶ 6H₂O + 5CO₂

According to the equation, the moles of CO₂ formed is 5 times greater than the moles of C₅H₁₂ given:

5*2.98 = 14.9 mol
