The mole ratio of the oxygen to pentane will be 8:1
What is the mole ratio?
A mole ratio is a ratio between the amounts in moles of any two compounds involved in a chemical reaction
A chemical equation is said to be a balanced chemical equation if it has an equal number of all the constituent atoms on both sides of the reaction arrow.
The balanced chemical reaction for the combustion of pentane is as follows:
[tex]\rm C_5H_{12}+8O_2--- > 5CO_2+6H_2O[/tex]
From the above-balanced chemical equation, it is clear that 1 mol of [tex]C_5H_{12}[/tex] reacts with 8 moles [tex]O_2[/tex] to form 5 moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex]
Thus the mole ratio of the oxygen to pentane will be 8:1
