Question

when methane reacts with oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. How many grams of carbon dilxide are formed if 30 g of methane react completely with 75 g of oxygen to form 50 g of water?

Answer 1

Answer:

CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O

Moles of oxygen=3232=1

Moles of carbon dioxide=4422=0.5

Moles of water=1818=1

1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen to give 1 mole of CO2 and 2 moles of water so 0.5 mole of methane will be required which is equal to 0.5×16=8g.

Explanation:

8g
