Answer: 11.25 moles of
O_2 will be required to completely react with 2.25 moles of
C_3H_8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:


C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of
C_3H_8 require = 5 moles of
O_2

Thus 2.25 moles of
C_3H_8 will require=
(5)/(1)* 2.25=11.25moles of
O_2

Thus 11.25 moles of
O_2 will be required to completely react with 2.25 moles of
C_3H_8.
