Question

A complete combustion of octane, C8H18, a component of gasoline, proceeds as: C8H18(l ) +   O2(g)  →   CO2(g)  +   H2O(l)  {unbalanced equation}

Atomic weights (g/mol): C=12, H=1, O=16

How many moles of oxygen are needed to burn 2.4 moles of octane? Enter final answer with TWO decimal places (e.g. 37.18 or 35.00 or 98.20); numeric answers only, do not include the units.
