The equation of 5m+4=7m+6 is equal to m=-1
The chemical equation is:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
First, we calculate the moles of methane present using:
Moles = mass / molecular mass
Moles = 20 / 16
Moles = 1.25
Next, we may observe from the chemical equation that the molar ratio between methane and oxygen is 1 : 2
So the moles of oxygen required are 2 x 1.25
2.5 moles of oxygen required
Mass = moles * molecular mass
Mass = 2.5 * 32
Moles = 80
C. 80 grams O₂
Answer:
The importance of significant figures
As stated before, it is important within the science fields that you are not more precise or accurate than the least accurate or precise number. In science, it is generally agreed upon that the last number digit in any figure is filled with uncertainty.
