Answer: 241.6 grams of CO2

Explanation: you take 84.3 grams C5H12 and divide it by 72.15 grams of C5H12(which is the molar mass) you take that answer and calculate the mols of CO2 by multiplying the 1.168 you got before and multiply it by 5. You take the answer you get from that and multiply it by the molar mass of CO2 and get the theoretical yield and then you just plug it in. 94= (x/257.02)x100 and solve to find x which is the actual yield.
