Question

calculate amount of co2 produced by the reaction of 32g of ch4 and 32g of o2

Answer 1

Answer:

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

16g CH4 will react with 64g O2 to produce 44g CO2

There is only 32g O2 available

8g CH4 will react with 32g O2 to produce 22g CO2

Answer: 22g CO2 produced.
