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.

Mass percentage of sodium chloride(NaCl) in ocean waters = 3.5 %
That means 3.5 g sodium chloride(NaCl) is present for every 100 g of ocean water.
The given mass of sodium chloride(NaCl) is 45.8 g
Calculating the mass of ocean waters that would contain 45.8 g sodium chloride(NaCl):
= 1309 g ocean water
Therefore, 45.8 g sodium chloride is present in 1309 g ocean water.
