Question

If 16 g of methane react with 32 grams of oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide will be generated?

Answer 1

Answer:

44 Grams of CO2 will be generated

Explanation:

Balanced equation:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

1mol CH4 reacts with 2 mol O2 to produce 1 mol CO2

Molar mass O2 = 32g/mol

Molar mass CH4 = 16g/mol

Molar mass CO2 = 44g/mol
