Answer:

608g

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combustion reaction between oxygen gas and C₆H₁₄.

The reaction expression is given as:

2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O

We have been given 2 moles of C₆H₁₄

Let us find the number of moles of oxygen gas;

2 moles of C₆H₁₄ will react with 19 moles of O₂

Mass of oxygen gas reacting = number of moles x molar mass

molar mass of oxygen gas = 2(16) = 32g/mol

Mass of oxygen gas = 19 x 32 = 608g
