    Answer is: volume of oxygen is 14.7 liters.

    Balanced chemical reaction: C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O.

    m (C₃H₈-propane) = 5.53 g.

    n (C₃H₈) = m (C₃H₈) : M (C₃H₈).

    n (C₃H₈) = 5.53 g : 44.1 g/mol.

    n (C₃H₈) = 0.125 mol.

    From chemical reaction: n (C₃H₈) : n (O₂) = 1 : 5.

    n (O₂) = 0.625 mol.

    T = 25° = 298.15K.

    p = 1.04 atm.

    R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K.

    Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.

    V (O₂) = n·R·T / p.

    V (O₂) = 0.625 mol · 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K · 298.15 K / 1.04 atm.

    V (O₂) = 14.7 L.
