To calculate empirical formula, number of moles of different atoms calculated first:
Number of moles of Carbon , n=
=
=
= 0.220 mol
Number of moles H =
=
= 0.440 mol
Number of moles of oxygen =
=
= 0.440 mol
Ratio of carbon
=
= 1
Ratio of hydrogen
=
= 2
Ratio of oxygen
=
= 2
So, the empirical formula is CH₂O₂
Answer: 90 g O2
Explanation: soution attached:
Balance first the chemical equation
CH4 + O2 => CO2 +2H2O
Convert mass of CH4 to moles
Use the mole ratio of CH4 and O2 from the balanced equation.
Convert moles of O2 to mass using the molar mass of O2.
