The chemical equation is:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
First, we calculate the moles of methane present using:
Moles = mass / molecular mass
Moles = 20 / 16
Moles = 1.25
Next, we may observe from the chemical equation that the molar ratio between methane and oxygen is 1 : 2
So the moles of oxygen required are 2 x 1.25
2.5 moles of oxygen required
Mass = moles * molecular mass
Mass = 2.5 * 32
Moles = 80
C. 80 grams O₂

Answer:
The electrons are supplied by the species getting oxidized. They move from anode to the cathode in the external circuit. The external battery supplies the electrons. They enter through the cathode and come out through the anode
