How many moles of water are produced by the complete combustion of 24.4 g of [tex]C_5H_{12}[/tex]?

Given reaction: [tex]C_5H_{12} + 8 O_2 \rightarrow 5 CO_2 + 6 H_2O[/tex]

A. 0.200
B. 2.03
C. 1.20
D. 36.6

Answer :

1.20 moles of water is produced by the complete combustion of 24. 4 g of C5H12. The answer is C. 1.20 moles of water.

This is because in the reaction, 24.4 g of C5H12 will produce 5 moles of CO2 and 6 moles of H2O, as shown in the equation. Therefore, the amount of water produced is 6 moles divided by 5 moles of C5H12, which is equal to 1.20 moles of water.

This is because the molar mass of C5H12 is 84 g/mol, so 24.4 g of C5H12 is equal to 0.29 moles of C5H12. When divided by the 6 moles of H2O, it yields 1.20 moles of water. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 1.20 moles of water.
