9.184 liters CH2O at STP
I think this is correct. Good luck
Given:
Density = 0.7360 g/L.
Pressure = 0.5073 atm.
Step 2
The mathematical expression of an ideal gas is,

Step 3
Here, R is the universal gas constant (0.0821 L-atm/mol K), T is the temperature in Kelvin, and n is the number of
The reaction for the combustion of methane can be expressed as follows.
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
We solve first for the amount of carbon dioxide in moles by dividing the given volume by 22.4L which is the volume of 1 mole of gas at STP.
moles of CO2 = (5.6 L) / (22.4 L/1 mole)
moles of CO2 = 0.25 moles
Then, we can see that every mole of carbon dioxide will need 1 mole of methane
moles methane = (0.25 moles CO2) x (1 moles O2/1 mole CO2)
= 0.25 moles CH4
Then, multiply this by the molar mass of methane which is 16 g/mole. Thus, the answer is 4 grams methane.
