The reaction formula CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O shows the oxidation of 1 mole of CH4 (Methane) will yield 1 mole of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). Since 1 mole of CH4 will weigh 12g (for the Carbon) + 4g (1g for each Hydrogen) = 16g, then 32g of CH4 will correspond to 32g / 16g/mole = 2 moles. Therefore the oxidation of 2 moles of CH4 will yield 2 moles of CO2.
Answer:
Element 2
Explanation:
If we look at the model stated for element 1, it is clear that element 1 must be a noble gas. It has eight electrons in its outermost shell this implies that it has already attained a complete octet of electrons and is reluctant towards chemical reaction.
The second element belongs to group 16 since it has six electrons on its outermost shell. It is certainly more reactive than element 1 which is a noble gas.

Answer:
The lowest whole number mass ratio of nitrogen that combines with a given mass of oxygen is 1:1
Explanation:
In compound A, we have 14 g of nitrogen combine with 16 g of oxygen
In compound B, we have 14 g of nitrogen combine with 32 g of oxygen
Therefore, we have
A B
Ratio of molar masses 14:16 14:32
Mass of O that combine with 1 g of N 1.14 2.29
Dividing by the smallest mass ratio 1 2
Therefore the lowest whole number mass ratio at which oxygen and nitrogen can combine = 1:1.
