Answer:
4.75 moles of oxygen would be consumed by water
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of water produced = 68.1 g
Number of moles of oxygen consumed = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
Number of moles of water:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 68.1 g/ 18 g/mol
Number of moles = 3.8 mol
Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen.
H₂O : O₂
4 : 5
3.8 : 5/4×3.8 = 4.75 mol
