    First, we write the balanced reaction equation:

    C₈H₁₈ + 13.5O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

    From this, it is visible that the molar ratio between octane and oxygen should be 1 : 13.5

    We check the actual amounts present by first converting them to moles:

    Octane:

    Mass = 94 g

    Molar mass = 114 g/mol

    Moles = 94/114 = 0.82

    Oxygen:

    Mass = 100 g

    Molar mass = 32

    Moles = 100/32 = 3.12

    The molar ratio actually present is 1 : 3.81

    This means that oxygen is the limiting reactant and we will base our calculations off of it.

    3.12 moles of oxygen will produce:

    3.12 * 8/13.5 = 1.85 moles of CO₂

    The mass of CO₂ is calculated using:

    Moles * molar mass

    Mass = 1.85 * 44

    The mass of CO₂ produced is 81.4 grams
