How many moles of O2 are needed to react completely with 8.4 mol of C8H18?
mol O2
The balanced equation shows that 1 mol of C8H18 requires 17 mol of O2 to react completely. Therefore, to find out how many moles of O2 are needed to react with 8.4 mol of C8H18, we can set up a proportion:
8.4 mol C8H18 x (17 mol O2 / 1 mol C8H18) = 142.8 mol O2
Therefore, 8.4 mol of C8H18 requires 142.8 mol of O2 to react completely.
