Answer:

21.6 g

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First we<u> convert the given masses of both reactants into moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:

  • 9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄
  • 64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂

0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.

Now we <u>calculate how many moles of water are produced</u>, using the <em>number of moles of the limiting reactant</em>:

  • 0.6 mol CH₄ * \frac{2molH_2O}{1molCH_4} = 1.2 mol H₂O

Finally we<u> convert 1.2 moles of water into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g

The formula for water is H20. What does the formula H2O tell us about the composition<br> of water?
Llana [10]
H2O is the chemical formula of water. It means that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms, indicated by the letter H, and a single oxygen atom, represented by the O. Water is a chemical substance with no smell, taste, or color.
