The number of moles of methane required to produce 11g CO2(g) after complete combustion is:
[Given molar mass of methane in g mol-1 : 16] [2024]
(4)
CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(l)
Moles of CO2(nCO2)=Given massMolar mass=11g44g mol-1=0.25mol
By stoichiometry of reaction,
Moles of CH4(nCH4)=Moles of CO2(nCO2)=0.25mol.
