Lauryl sulfate is an anion found in cleaners and detergents. Its structure is shown below: Assuming lauryl sulfate decomposes according to the following reaction: C12H25SO4–(aq) + 18 O2(aq) → 12 CO2(aq) + 12 H2O(l) + H+(aq) + SO42–(aq) Calculate the mass of O2 required to decompose 15.0 g of lauryl sulfate.
