Balance the following chemical equation, then answer the following question. c8h18(g) + o2(g) →co2(g)+h2o(g) how many grams of oxygen are required to react with 20.0 grams of octane (c8h18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline? express the mass in grams to one decimal place.

The balanced equation is as follows:
2C8H18(g) + 25O2(g) →16CO2(g)+18H2O(g)
The number of moles in 20 grams of octane can be calculated as follows:
No. Of moles=mass/relative molecular mass.
=20/(12*8+1*8)
=20/104
=0.2moles
The reaction ratio is 2:25
Hence if 2 moles octane react with 25 moles of oxygen
Then the number of moles of oxygen reacting with 0.2 moles of octane is calculated as follows :
(0.2*25)/2=2.5 moles
2.5 moles of oxygen have a mass of:
2.5moles* 32(the molecular mass of oxygen)=800.0grams

You know how the first one if filled up like the objects do the same but with the other categories
