Question

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) = CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

0.04 moles of CH₄  are required

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CH₄ required = ?

Number of moles of O₂ present = 0.08 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂     →   CO₂ + 2H₂O      

now we will compare the moles of oxygen and methane.

                      O₂          :        CH₄

                       2           :           1

                     0.08        :        1/2×0.08 = 0.04

Thus, 0.04 moles of CH₄  are required.
