Question

In this reaction, how many grams of CH4 would be formed from 25 g C? C + 2H2 → CH4

Answer 1

33.33 grams of CH4 would be formed from 25 g C.

C + 2H2 → CH4

from given reaction we can say that ,

2 moles of hydrogen is required for 1 mole of carbon and these will react to form 1 mole of methane.

atomic mass of Carbon = 12 gm

Molecular mass of H2 = 2(H)

                                  = 2(1)

                                  =2gm

moles = molecular mass / given mass

for C,

if 12 gm = 1 mole

then 25 gm = ? mole

           =2.083 moles

1 mole of C will produce 1 moles of CH4

so, 2.083 moles of C also will produce 2.083 moles moles of CH4

molecular weight of methane= C+4(H)

                                             = 12+4(1)

                                             = 16 gm

amount of methane produced= moles × molecular mass

                                              =2.083× 16

                                              = 33.33 gm
