Answer:

31 moles

Explanation:

The balanced combustion reaction of the wax, [tex]C_{31}H_{64}[/tex] is shown below as:

[tex]C_{31}H_{64}+47O_2\rightarrow 31CO_2+32H_2O[/tex]

As seen from the reaction,

1 mole of wax, [tex]C_{31}H_{64}[/tex] on combustion produces 31 moles of carbon dioxide, [tex]CO_2[/tex]

Hence, moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex] when 1 mole of wax, [tex]C_{31}H_{64}[/tex] is burnt = 31 moles

Answer:

31 moles.

Explanation:

The products of combustion are CO2 and H2O.

C31H64 + 47O2 --->  31CO2   +    32H2O
