The balanced chemical reaction is:
CH4 + 2O2 —> CO2 + 2H2O
You need to convert mass to moles (divide by molar mass):
CH4 moles = 5 / 16 = 0.31 mol
O2 moles = 5 / 32 = 0.16 mol
To figure out which reactant is limiting, divide the actual moles by the corresponding coefficient in the reaction:
CH4: 0.31 / 1 = 0.31
O2: 0.16 / 2 = 0.08
O2 is the lower number, so it is the limiting reactant. From the reaction we know it takes 2 moles of O2 to react with each mole of CH4. Therefore, for however many moles of O2 we actually have, half as many moles of CH4 will react. Since we have 0.16 mol of O2, only 0.08 mol of CH4 will react, leaving behind 0.31 - 0.08 = 0.23 mol of CH4.
Now convert back to mass (multiply by molar mass) to find the mass of CH4 remaining:
0.23 x 16 = 3.68g
The closest answer is B.
<span>Smith and Cuvier discovered that similar groups of fossils in distant rock layers could be correlated. Why was this such a major breakthrough in geology?

Answer: 4000000000
because 20X200000000=4000000000
Explanation -
<em>First: Ice will not evaporate in boiling water, it will melt. The input of energy is required to overcome the attractive forces between water molecules at the boiling point). This is in excess of the heat energy needed to raise water tothe temperature of the boiling point.</em>
