Answer:
for just like question first find out LR
I hope u understand
CH₄ + 2O₂ combustion CO₂ + 2H₂O at STP.
We have to find the no of moles of CH₄ and O₂ used in combustion reaction of 22.4L of CH₄ with 128 g of O₂.
What is combustion reaction ?
The reaction in which a chemical compound is burnt in the presence of adequate amount of oxygen is known as combustion of that compound.
hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide and water when it burns in the sufficient amount of oxygen.
mass of O₂ = 128g
molecular mass of O₂ = 32g/mol
no of moles of O₂ = mass of O₂/molecular mass of O₂
= 128/32 = 4 mol
volume of CH₄ = 22.4 L
no of moles of CH₄ = volume of CH₄/22.4 L = 22.4/22.4 = 1 mol
from the reaction, CH₄ + 2O₂ => 2H₂O + CO₂ , it is clear that one mole of methane reacts with two moles of oxygen.
so, the no of moles of used O₂ = 4 - 2 = 2 moles
the no of moles of used CH₄ = 1 [ completely used ]
