A sealed vessel with fixed total internal volume of 2 m32 \text{ m}^3 contains 0.740 kg0.740 \text{ kg} pentane, C5H12\text{C}_5\text{H}_{12} , and oxygen only. The pentane is ignited and undergoes 100% conversion to carbon dioxide and water. Subsequently the temperature and pressure in the vessel are respectively 740 K740 \text{ K} and 400 kPa400 \text{ kPa} . Calculate the initial amount and mass of oxygen in the vessel.
