    Answer:

    n_{O_2}=343.75molO_2

    Explanation:

    Hello there!

    In this case, according to the combustion of octane:

    2C_8H_1_8+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

    We can see there is a 2:25 mole ratio of octane to oxygen; therefore, we can calculate the moles of oxygen via the following stoichiometric factor:

    n_{O_2}=27.5molC_8H_1_8*\frac{25molO_2}{2molC_8H_1_8} \\\\n_{O_2}=343.75molO_2

    Best regards!
