    Answer: 25.7 mol

    From the balanced reaction, 2 mol of Octane produces 18 mol of Water.

    Find the moles of Octane you are reacting.

    moles of Octane = mass of Octane / molar mass = 325g / 114.23 g/mol = 2.85 mol.

    Since Oxygen is in excess, limiting reagent is Octane.

    2 mol Octane produces 18 mol Water.

    1mol Octane produces 9 mol Water.

    Therefore, 2.85 mol Octane will produce Water = 2.85 mol Octane x 9 mol Water / 1mol Octane

    = 25.7 mol
