Expert Solution
Step 1

Balanced chemical equation for the combustion of octane:

2C8H18   +   25O2  ------>   16CO2   +    18H2

From the above equation:

Number of moles of CO2 = 16/2 number of moles of C8H18 = 16/25 number of moles of O2

Number of moles = Mass/molar mass

Given that:

Mass Octane = 1.1 g

Mass of O2 = 3.4 g
