The combustion of octane C₈H₁₈ (a component in gasoline) in the presence of oxygen proceeds according to the following balanced equation:

2 C₈H₁₈ (l) + 25 O₂ (g) ----> 16CO₂ (g) + 18H₂O (l)

0.0500 L of octane (density 0.702 g/mL) was allowed to burn in the presence of 155 g

of oxygen gas. The actual yield of water produced in this reaction was 38.4 grams.

a. Determine the theoretical yield for the water.

b. Determine the percent yield.

c. How many grams of oxygen gas actually react?
