Question
The complete combustion of octane, c8h18, produces CO2 and H20. C. How many grams of O2 are needed to burn 10.0g of C8H18? D. Octane has a density of 0.692 g/mL at 20 degreeC. How many grams of O2 are required to burn 1.00 gal of c8H18? ( 1gal=4qt; 1.057qt=1L
**Combustion of Octane (C₈H₁₈)**

The complete combustion of octane, C₈H₁₈, produces CO₂ and H₂O.

**a. Balance the following equation:**

\[ C_8H_{18} + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O \]

Balanced equation:

\[ 2C_8H_{18} + 25O_2 \rightarrow 16CO_2 + 18H_2O \]

**b. How many moles of O₂ are needed to burn 1.25 mol of C₈H₁₈?**

\[ 1.25 \, \text{mol} \, C_8H_{18} \times \frac{25 \, \text{mol} \, O_2}{2 \, \text{mol} \, C_8H_{18}} = 0.350 \, \text{moles} \, O_2 \]

**c. How many grams of O₂ are needed to burn 10.0 g of C₈H₁₈?**

\[ 10.0 \, \text{g} \, C_8H_{18} \times \frac{1 \, \text{mol} \, C_8H_{18}}{114.224 \, \text{g} \, C_8H_{18}} \times \frac{25 \, \text{mol} \, O_2}{2 \, \text{mol} \, C_8H_{18}} \times \frac{32 \, \text{g} \, O_2}{1 \, \text{mol} \, O_2} = \text{(calculation steps shown)} \]

**d. Octane has a density of 0.692 g/mL at 20°C. How many grams of O₂ are required to burn 1.00 gal of C₈H₁₈? (1 gal = 4 qt; 1.057 qt = 1 L)**

Given steps for conversion and calculations are shown, but the explicit calculation is not included in the image. 

**Note: Calculation steps may involve converting gallons to liters and using density to find the mass of C₈H
