CH4 + O2 ===> H2O + CO2 Bare Equation. This is a Combustion Reaction.
CH4 + 2O2====>2H2O + CO2 Balanced equation. You start with this.

Step One
=======
Find the moles of Methane.
1 mole of methane has a mass of
C = 12
O2 = 2 * 16 = 32
1 mol of  CO2 = 12 + 32 = 44 grams / mole

Step Two 
======
Calculate the number of moles of methane.
given mass (g) = 25.5 grams
molar Mass = 44

mol = given mass / molar mass
mol = 25.5 / 44
mol = 0.5795 mols methane.

Step Three
========
Find the moles of water.
For ever mole of methane, 2 moles of water are produced.

1 mol methane. . . . . . .. .0.5795 mols methane
=========== . . . . .= .  .================ . . . . . 
2 mol water  . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . .x

Mole of water = 2 * 0.5795
mole of water = 1.159 

Step Four
=======
Find the mass of water.
1 mol = 2H + O = 2 + 16 = 18 grams / mol

desired mass = mols * Molar mass
desired mass = 1.159 * 18
desired mass = 20.86 grams of water.

If you do these questions by dimensional analysis, this problem can be done all in 1 step. It would look like this.

25.5 g [1mol /44grams]*[2mol water / 1 mol meth]*[18 grams / 1 mol water]

Question 2<br> Describe the energy in coal and the way in which it’s converted to electrical energy.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Its rich carbon content gives coal most of its energy content. When coal is burned in the presence of air or oxygen, heat energy is released. This energy can then be converted to other forms of useful energy. Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.

Hope this helps! :)

A metal melts at 450 degrees celsius. Is this property of the metal classified as chemical or physical?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
It's a physical property because it doesn't change the element of the metal.
does this make sense?

Which of the following is likely to have the lowest viscosity? hot oil room temperature oil room temperature water below room te
zzz [600]

Viscosity, is a state of matter where it resists flow or may be in thick semifluid form because of friction acting inside the matter.In this case, hot oil room temperature would lessen the viscosity of the oil (animal oil). Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.

What creates Earth’s magnetic field?
DIA [1.3K]
Earth's magnetic field doesn't have much to do with tectonic plates. But both are caused by movement of the magma. The magnetic field is caused by electrical currents flowing in the magma, roughly parallel with the Equator. Tectonic plates move around the surface of the Earth over the liquid magma.

So I'd go with B. mantle convection currents
