Answer

11.733 kg Carbon dioxide are produced by the complete combustion of 3.8 kg of n-octane. See every steps below:

Work Step by Step

First, write the complete equation for n-octane with oxygen and then balance the equation after writing the structure of n-octane in molecular formula in the equation. Then, calculate molecular weight of n-octane and carbon dioxide. After that, follow every steps which are stated above to calculate the amount of Carbon dioxide produced by the complete combustion of 3.8 kg of n-octane. See below to find out how to balance equation for combustion of hydrocarbon by applying formula.
