Number of moles of methane required to produce 22g CO2(g) after combustion is x×10-2 moles. The value of x is _________ . [2024]
(50) Number of moles of carbon dioxide(nCO2)
=Given massMolar mass=22g44gmol-1=0.5mol
Combustion reaction of methane is represented as:
CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O
By stoichiometry:
nCH41=nCO21,nCH4=0.5mol=50×10-2mol
