22.75 L CO2

Explanation:

Balance the Equation

C5H12  +  O2 ==>   CO2 + H2O        Balance the Carbons

C5H12  +  O2 ==>   5CO2 + H2O     Now balance the Hydrogens

C5H12  +  O2 ==>   5CO2 + 6H2O   Now count up the oxygens on the right.

5*O2 + 6O ==> 10 O + 6 O ===> 16 Oxygens.

You have 2 on the left. You have to multiply the oxygens by 8

C5H12  +  8O2 ==>   5CO2 + 6 H2O

The equation is now balanced.

Now find out how much oxygen is needed to burn 9.32 L of Pentane

1 Liter Pentane / 8 Liters Oxygen = 9.32 L Pentane / x     Cross multiply

x = 8 * 9.32

x = 74.56

Read this next sentence very carefully. You need 74.56 Liters of oxygen to burn all the pentane you have. There's not that much there. You only have 36.4 Liters of Oxygen. Some of the pentane won't get burned. Consequently there will be a shortage of CO2 as well.

Find out the number of Liters of Pentane that will be burned up.

1 / x =  8 / 36.4               Cross multiply

8x = 36.4                        Divide by 8

8x/8 = 36.4/8

x = 4.55 Liters of Pentane will be  used up.

Find the number of Liters of CO2

For every Liter of Pentane, 5 Liters of CO2 will be produced.

1/5 = 4.55/x                      Cross Multiply

x = 5 * 4.55

x = 22.75

Explanation:

Carbon in the air around the living thing is moving in and out of its lungs. The movement is occurring at the same time. This is one of the most important gaseous exchange important to life.

The goats takes in oxygen gas from the surrounding and releases carbon dioxide in the process. But, air is actually drawn in by the goat which is a mixture of several gases. Air contains carbon dioxide which is a rich source of carbon With the carbon dioxide from respiratory processes, the goat ejects and breathes out this waste carbon matter. Therefore, the gaseous exchange in a goat involves the movement of carbon in and out of the air.
