1) That looks right. 2) Step 1: Moles=Mass/Mr, so it's 144/72= 2mol. Step 2: Stoichiometry means the ratio of oxygen to pentane is 1:8 so moles of oxygen is moles of pentane times 8. 2*8=16mol of oxygen. Step 3: 16= 9.6*10^24. 3) The ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO2 is 1:2. so it's 192/3 = 64.
According to this equation, we need two moles of hydrogen to react with one mole of oxygen. This is called the mole ratio. It is defined as the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation.
