is a hydrocarbon called hexane. When burned, it produces carbon dioxide
and water
To answer the question we need to write the balanced chemical reaction. It is
To obtain these coefficients, we first look at carbon, at the left, and give
the coefficient
Then count
at the left, so
must have the coefficient
But then there will be even quantity of
at the left and odd at the right. This requires to change
at
to
at
to
and
at
to
Then the coefficient at
becomes
Now we see that moles of
make
moles of
so
mole makes
The molar mass of hexane is
Finally, of hexane are
moles, so there will be about
moles of
