1 mole of Carbon monoxide gas are produced by each mole of methane burned
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Combustion of methane
Required
moles of Carbon monoxide
Solution
Complete combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will be obtained by CO₂ and H₂O compounds.
If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H₂O
Reaction
2CH4 + 3O2 → 2CO + 4H2O
From the equation, mol ratio of CH4 : CO = 2 : 2, so mol CO = mol CH4 = 1 mole
