Question

calculate the number of moles of co2 formed from 48 grams of ch4 on combustion

Answer 1

Hello Dear,

◆ Answer -

n(CO2) = 3 mol

◆ Explanation -

Combustion of CH4 takes place as follows _

CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + C02

From this we can say that,

1 mole of CH4 => 1 mole of CO2

Hence, no of moles of CO2 formed is -

n(CO2) = n(CH4)

n(CO2) = 48/16

n(CO2) = 3 mol

Hence, number of moles of CO2 formed is 3 moles.

Thanks dear...
