Question

How many moles of methane are required to produce 22g CO2 (g) after combustion?

Open in App
Solution

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.
