When methane, CH4, is combusted, it produces carbon dioxide, CO₂, according to the unbalanced equation: CH4 +0₂ - CO₂ + H₂O.
1 answer:
The balanced equation will be
The balanced equation of the reaction would be as follows:
The mole ratio of methane to carbon dioxide is 1:1.
10 grams of methane will give 10/16 = 0.625 moles
0.625 moles of carbon dioxide would give 0.625 x 44.01 = 27.506 grams.
Thus, 10 grams of methane will produce approximately 27 grams of carbon dioxide stoichiometrically.
The reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass because the atoms of all the elements before and after the reaction are balanced.
