Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to balance the chemical equation. The balanced equation for the combustion of hexyne is:

C6H10 + 9O2 --> 6CO2 + 5H2O

Next, we calculate the molar mass of C6H10 and O2.

The molar mass of C6H10 is (612 g/mol) + (101 g/mol) = 82 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 2*16 g/mol = 32 g/mol.

According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of C6H10 reacts with 9 moles of O2.

So, if we have 338 g of C6H10, the number of moles is 338 g / 82 g/mol = 4.12 moles.

Since 1 mole of C6H10 reacts with 9 moles of O2, 4.12 moles of C6H10 will react with 4.12 * 9 = 37.08 moles of O2.

Finally, we convert the moles of O2 to grams using the molar mass.

The mass of O2 needed is 37.08 moles * 32 g/mol = 1186.56 g.

So, 1186.56 grams of O2 are needed for the complete combustion of 338 grams of C6H10.
