Answer 1

Answer: The mass of oxygen reacted is
`1.60* 10^(3)g`

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Moles of propane = 9.98 mol

For the given chemical equation:

`C_3H_8(g)+5O2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)`

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of propane reacts with 5 moles of oxygen.

So, 9.98 moles of propane will react with =
`(5)/(1)* 9.98=49.9mol` of oxygen.

To calculate the mass of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:

`\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}`

Moles of oxygen = 49.9 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation:

`49.9mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen}=(49.9mol* 32g/mol)=1596.8g=1.60* 10^(3)g`

Hence, the mass of oxygen reacted is
`1.60* 10^(3)g`
