Using the equation, c5h12 8o2 arrow 5co2 6h2o, if 108 g of water are produced, how many grams of oxygen were consumed?

Molar mass:

H₂O = 18.0 g/mol

O₂ = 32.0 g/mol

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ -> 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

8 x (32 g )  6 x (18 g )
mass O₂ 108 g H₂O

mass O₂ = 108 x 8 x 32 / 6 x 18

mass O₂ = 27648 / 108

mass O₂ = 256 g

hope this helps!

They are held together by chemical bonds. i am pretty sure.
