First you MUST balance the equation. Then, you basically need to do two different calculations. Starting with 50.0 grams of C3H8, convert that to moles using it's molecular weight. Then, with the balanced equation, calculate how many moles of CO2 you can form. Next, repeat the calculation starting with 50.0 grams of O2 and see how many moles of CO2 you can form. Finally, take the smallest number of moles of CO2 and convert that to grams with CO2's molecular weight.

First you balance the equation.
C3H8 + 3O2 -> CO2 + 4H2O
What I'm interpreting your question as is that
CO2 + 4H2O = 50g
If it is so, you can find it out for yourself very easily, since you already have the no of moles. Ar of C = 12 Ar of O =16 Ar of H =1
