Question

Calculate the mass of CO^2 and H2O formed on complete combustion of 24 g of methane gas (Atomic masses C=12u, H=1u, O=16u)

​

Answer 1

Answer:CO*2 : 66g ,H*2O : 54g ( 2 molecules)

Explanation:Methane is a basic hydrocarbon having 4 hydrogen atoms and a carbon atoms bonded with covalent bonds. When methane reacts with oxygen completely , it gives one molecule of carbon dioxide oxide and 2molecules of water. The equation for this reaction is :

CH*4 + 2 O*2 -----> CO*2 + 2 H*2O
