C8H16+ 120, -> 8 CO, +8 H,° determine the mole ratios

Answer 1

The balanced equation is:

C8H16 + 120 O2 -> 8 CO2 + 8 H2O

The mole ratios are:

1 mole of C8H16 reacts with 15 moles of O2
8 moles of CO2 are produced
8 moles of H2O are produced

Therefore, the mole ratio of C8H16 to CO2 is 1:8 and the mole ratio of C8H16 to H2O is also 1:8.
