Given: weight of CO2=22g
The balanced equation for the combustion of methane is:
CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g)
By apply stoichiometry in the above equation,
1 mol of CO2(g) produced by 1 mol of CH4(g)
We know, mole=weightmol.wt.
(mole)CO2=2244=0.5mol
So, 0.5 mol of CO2(g) produced by 0.5 mol of CH4 (g)
Final answer: 0.5 mol of methane are required to produce 22g CO2 (g) after combustion.
