How many moles of $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ gas would be consumed in the complete combustion of 0.100 mole of $\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12}$ ?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complete combustion of pentane ($\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12}$) can be represented by the balanced chemical equation: $\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12} + 8\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 5\mathrm{CO}_{2} + 6\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}$. This shows that 1 mole of $\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12}$ requires 8 moles of $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ for complete combustion. Therefore, 0.100 mole of $\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12}$ would consume 0.800 mole of $\mathrm{O}_{2}$.
