A major component of gasoline is octane (C,H8). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (0,) to produce carbon dioxide (Co,) and water (H,O). What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 2.71 g of oxygen gas? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Octane reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. The equation for the balanced chemical reaction is as follows:

2C8H18 + 25O2  16CO2 + 18H2O

The mass of oxygen reacts is = 2.71 g

The mass of water produced is =?
