Anyone know how to do this problem?

What volume of   O2 (m3)   is needed for the complete combustion of   131 g   of   C2H6   at   20.0oC   and   100.0 kPa?

The balanced equation is:

2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O
&
V= nRT/P

I thought (15.4)(.08206)(293.15) / (.987167) was correct but when I submit it on my online quiz it says incorrect...

Anything is appreciated!!

Did you enter the answer in litres or metres cubed?
There is no science without fancy, and no art without facts.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
