To burn 1 molecule of c5h12 to form co2 and h2o (complete combustion), how many molecules of o2 are required?

8 molecules of oxygen gas are required.

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is the type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to give to carbon dioxide and water.

According to reaction ,1 mole of pentane reacts with 8 molecules of oxygen gas to give 5 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water.

So, to burn 1 mole of pentane we will need 8 molecules of oxygen gas.

did anyone actually do this? like if anyone has submitted this i rly need .

thats how its supposed to be
