In a combustion reaction, pentane (molar mass (MM) = 72.17 g/mol) burns, in the presence of oxygen (MM = 32.00 g/mol), to produce carbon dioxide (MM = 44.01 g/mol) and water (MM = 18.02 g/mol). The balanced reaction is shown here: C5H12 (l) + 8 O2 (g) à 5 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (g)

If 4.0 mol of O2 is available, what is the maximum number of moles of water that can be produced (AKS 4f)?

A.
3.0 mol

B.
4.0 mol

C.
5.0 mol

D.
8.0 mol

E.
2.0 mol
