Part D
As with any combustion reaction, the products of combusting a hydrocarbon fuel (C,H,) with oxygen (O2) are carbon
dioxide (CO2) and water (H2 O).
A mass of 15.74 g for an unknown fuel was combusted in a reaction vessel containing an unknown amount of oxygen.
At the end of the reaction, there still remained 15.68 g of the fuel as well as 0.0981 g of water and 0.1797 g of carbon
dioxide. The oxygen was completely consumed during the reaction.
How many molecules of oxygen gas were initially present in the reaction vessel?
Express the number of molecules to three significant digits.
