Answer:
24.06 g of CO₂
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
CH₄ + 2O₂ —> 2H₂O + CO₂
Next, we shall determine the mass of O₂ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol
Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16)
= 12 + 32
= 44 g/mol
Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g
SUMMARY:
From the balanced equation above,
64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 35 g of O₂. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.
Therefore, 35 g of O₂ will react to produce = (35 × 44)/64 = 24.06 g of CO₂.
Thus, 24.06 g of CO₂ were produced from the reaction.
