21.8021.80 moles

Explanation:

C_5H_12+8O_2 rarr 6H_2O + 5CO_2C5H12+8O26H2O+5CO2

From the equation, we see that 1 mole of C_5H_12C5H12 reacts with excess of O_2O2 to produce 55 moles of CO_2.CO2.

So, 4.364.36 moles of C_5H_12C5H12 will react with excess O_2O2 to produce
(4.36*5)(4.365) moles=21.80=21.80 moles.

That's it .
