Molar mass:

O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32.0 g/mol

C₃H₈ = 12 x 3 + 1 x 8 = 44.0 g/mol

Balancing chemical equation :

C₃H+ 5 O = 3 CO + 4 HO

44.0 g C₃H₈ ------------- 5 x 32.0 g O₂
94.4 g C₃H₈-------------- ( mass of O₂)

mass of O₂ = 94.4 x 5 x 32.0 / 44

mass of O₂ = 15104 / 44

= 343.27 g of O₂

hope this helps!
