Answer: 36 moles oxygen

Explanation:

C10H8 + 12O2 ====》 10CO2 + 4H2O

From the equation of the reaction,

1 mole of napth requires 12 moles of O2

3 moles of napth would require x moles O2

X = (3 * 12) / 1

X = 36 moles of oxygen.

Therefore 3 moles of naphtalene (C10H8) would require 36 moles of oxygen
