Answer #1

The balanced equation is

C5H12 + 8 O2 ------> 5 CO2 + 6 H2O

6.023*10^23 molecules of pentane = 1 mole so

7.89 *10^23 molecules of pentane =

= 7.89 *10^23 molecules of pentane *(1 mole / 6.023*10^23 molecules of pentane)

= 1.31 mole of pentane

mass of 1 mole of pentane = 72.15 g so

the mass of 1.31 mole of pentane = 94.5 g

Therefore, the mass of pentane needed would be 94.5 g
