Answer:


74.5gCO_2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for the described reaction, it is possible to realize there is a 13:8 mole ratio between oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2); moreover, since the molar mass of the former is 32.00 g/mol and that of latter is 44.01 g/mol, the produced mass of the required product turns out to be:


88gO_2*(1molO_2)/(32.00gO_2)*(8molCO_2)/(13molO_2)*(44.01gCO_2)/(1molCO_2) \\\\=74.5gCO_2

Best regards!
