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 *
= 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
