Hi,
The purpose of the burning splint is to provide activation energy.
CH4+(x)O2=CO2 +(Y)H2O
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=2+? +H=?
H=4>>Y=2
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=(2+2) +H=4
C=1 +H=4 +O=4 = C=1 +O=4 +H=4
O=4>>X=2
CH4+(2)O2 =CO2 +(2)H2O
Molar mass NO₂ = 46.0 g/mol
1 mole -------- 46.0 g
2.0 moles ----- ?
Mass (NO₂) = 2.0 x 46.0 / 1
=> 92.0 g
hope this helps!
