Question

methyl t butyl Ether c5h12O is added to gasoline to promote cleaner burning how many moles of Oxygen gas O2 are required to burn 1 mole of this compound completely to form carbon dioxide and water​

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 moles

Explanation:

2 C₅H₁₂O + 15 O₂  → 10 CO₂ + 12 H₂O

Here 2 moles of C₅H₁₂O reacts with 15 moles of O₂ in this reaction.

So if there is 1 mole of C₅H₁₂O, then we will need 7.5 mole of  O₂ to form CO₂ and H₂O. Hence the answer is 7.5 moles of O₂.
