A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H₁8). When liquid octane is burned in air it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of octane needed to produce 0.060 mol of water. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.
