Question

URGENT!! Can someone please explain this to me?

Answer 1

Answer:

$CH _{4}+ 2O _{2} → CO _{2} + 2H _{2}O$

for the balanced equation

$from \: the \: equation \\ 1 \: mole \: of \: methane \: gives \: 1 \: mole \: of \: carbon \: dioxide \\ 7.4 \: moles \: of \: carbon \: dioxide \: will \: be \: given \: by \: (7.4 \times 1)moles \: of \: methane \\ = 7.4\: moles \: of \: methane \\ \\ since \: moles \: of \: oxygen \: double \: those \: of \: methane \\ moles \: of \: oxygen \: = 7.4\times 2 \\ = 14.8 \: moles \: of \: oxygen$
