The balanced equation below shows the products that are formed when pentane (c5h12) is combusted. c5h12 + 8o2 mc029-1.jpg 10co2 + 6h2o
what is the mole ratio of oxygen to pentane?

The mole ratio of oxygen to pentane for the combustion of pentane is 8 : 1.

Explanation: The given reaction is a type of combustion reaction.

Combustion reaction is a reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce water and carbon dioxide gas.

For the reaction of pentane with oxygen, the balanced equation would be:

In the reaction, 1 mole of reacts with 8 moles of gas.

Thus giving us the mole ratio as

Oxygen : Pentane = 8 : 1

mark him as !

sorry i was late, but i don't know what assignment your talking about, i'm in flvs as well, im in earth space science. but u are behind pace bc every class should be in the 3's or 4'
