To determine the number of moles of CO2 that will be produced from 32g of CH4, we need to use the molar mass of CH4 and the stoichiometry of the balanced equation.
The molar mass of CH4 is:
1(12.01) + 4(1.01) = 16.04 g/mol
Now, we need to use the balanced equation to determine the stoichiometry between CH4 and CO2. According to the equation, 1 mole of CH4 produces 1 mole of CO2. Therefore, the stoichiometric ratio is 1:1.
Now we can calculate the number of moles of CH4 in 32g by dividing the mass by the molar mass:
32g CH4 / 16.04 g/mol = 1.995 mol CH4
Since the stoichiometric ratio is 1:1 between CH4 and CO2, the number of moles of CO2 produced will be the same as the number of moles of CH4:
1.995 mol CO2
Therefore, 32g of CH4 will produce approximately 1.995 moles of CO2.
Consider the reaction represented by the equation below
CH4+2O2>CO2+2H2O
How many moles of CO2 will be produced from 32g of CH4?
