Give the theoretical yield,in moles,of CO₂from the reaction of 4.00 moles of C₈H₁₈ with 4.00 moles of O₂.
2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ → 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to stoichiometry of the reaction, 2 moles of C₈H₁₈ reacts with 25 moles of O₂ to give 16 moles of CO₂. Thus, for 4.00 moles of C₈H₁₈, the moles of CO₂ produced will be (16/2)*4.00= 2.56 moles. Therefore, the theoretical yield of CO₂ is 2.56 moles. The correct option is (C).
