<h2>Answer:</h2>1.33*10^{-2}grams

<h2>Explanations</h2>

The complete balanced equation for the given reaction is expressed as;

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

Given the following parameters

Mass of CH4 = 5.90×10^−3 g = 0.0059grams

Determine the moles of methane

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{mass}{molar\text{ mass}} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{0.0059}{16.04} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=0.000368moles \end{gathered}

According to stoichimetry, 1 mole of methane produces 2 moles of water, hence the moles of water required will be:

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of H}_2O=\frac{2}{1}\times0.000368 \\ moles\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736moles \end{gathered}

Determine the mass of water produced

\begin{gathered} Mass\text{ of H}_2O=moles\times molar\text{ mass} \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736\times18.02 \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.0133grams=1.33\times10^{-2}grams \end{gathered}

Therefore the mass of water produced from the complete combustion of 5.90×10−3 g of methane is 1.33 * 10^-2grams

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of
Natasha2012 [34]

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms CO2. This can depicted by the below equation.

C + O2→ CO2

It has been mentioned that when 14.4 g of C reacts with 53.9 g of O2, then 15.5 g of O2 remains unreacted. <u>This indicates that Carbon is the limiting reagent and hence the amount of CO2 produced is based on the amount of Carbon burnt.</u>

C + O2→ CO2

In the above equation , 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2.

In this case 14.4 g of Carbon reacts with 53.9 of O2 to produce "x"g of CO2.

<u>No of moles = mass of the substance÷molar mass of the substance</u>

No of moles of carbon = 14.4 /12= 1.2 moles

No of moles of O2 = Mass of reacted O2/Molar mass of O2.

No of moles of O2 = (Total mass of O2 burned - Mass of unreacted O2)/32

No of moles of O2 = (53.9-15.5) ÷ 32 = 1.2 moles.

Hence as already discussed 1 mole of Carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2. In this case 1.2 moles of carbon reacts with 1.2 moles of O2 to produce 1.2 moles of CO2.

Moles of carbon dioxide = Mass of CO2 produced /Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = Moles of CO2 ×Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = 1.2 x 44 = 52.8 g

<u>Thus 52.8 g of CO2 is produced.</u>
