C5H12 + xO2 -> yCO2 + zH2O, what is the value of x + y*z?(a) 24(b) 38(c) 46(d) 54The question was posed to me in quiz.This intriguing question comes from Stoichiometry topic in chapter The Chemical Reaction Equation & Stoichometry, Material Balances for Processes Involving Reaction and Multiple Units of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) 38

For EXPLANATION I would say: The balanced chemical reaction is: C5H12 + 8O2 -> 5CO2 + 6H2O, => X + y*z = 8 + 5*6 = 38.
