Detailed Solution

Isobutane and n-Butane have same chemical formula (C4​H10​) and give same combustion reaction.

2C4​H10 ​+ 13O2 ​→ 8CO2 ​+ 10H2​O

This means 2 moles of this mixture requires 13 moles of oxygen.

Molecular mass of butane = 58 g/mol

Molecular mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol

Thus, 116 g mixture needs 13 × 32 g=416 g oxygen

1 g mixture needs = 416116 ​g oxygen
5 kg  of the mixture  = 5 × 103 g needs = 416×5×103116​ = 17900 g of oxygen

Therefore, 17.9 kg oxygen is used.
