2.07gC3H8

Explanation:

First, let's find the moles of O2 using the ideal-gas equation:

molO2=(1.04atm)(5.53L)(0.08206LatmmolK)(298K)=0.235molO2

Now, we'll use the stoichiometrically equivalent values from the equation to find the relative number of moles of C3H8:

0.235molO2(1molC3H85molO2)=0.0470molC3H8

Finally, we'll use the molar mass of propane to find the mass in grams of propane needed:

0.0470molC3H8(44.11gC3H81molC3H8)=2.07gC3H8
