Consider the combustion reaction for octane (C8H18), which is a primary component of gasoline. 2C8H18+25O2⟶16CO2+18H2O How many moles of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere when 26.6 g C8H18 is burned?

Answer #1

Molar mass of C8H18,

MM = 8*MM(C) + 18*MM(H)

= 8*12.01 + 18*1.008

= 114.224 g/mol

mass of C8H18 = 26.6 g

mol of C8H18 = (mass)/(molar mass)

= 26.6/1.142*10^2

= 0.2329 mol

Balanced chemical equation is:

2C8H18+25O2⟶16CO2+18H2O

According to balanced equation

mol of C02 formed = (16/2)* moles of C8H18

= (16/2)*0.2329

= 1.863 mol

Answer: 1.86 mol
