The amount, in grams, of [tex]CO_2[/tex] that would be produced from the burning of 3.0 mol amyl alcohol would be 660.15 grams

Stoichiometric calculation

From the equation of the reaction:

[tex]2C_5H_1_1OH + 15O2 ---- > 10CO_2 + 12H_2O[/tex]

The mole ratio of amyl alcohol to the  [tex]CO_2[/tex] produced is 2:10.

Thus, for 3.0 mol of amyl alcohol, 15 mol of  [tex]CO_2[/tex] would be produced.

Mass of 15 mol  [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 15 x 44.01 = 660.15 grams
