Question

For the combustion of methane, beginning with 3.15 mole of CH4 How many moles of CO2 are obtained when the CH4 is completly combusted?

Answer 1

The balanced equation for the combustion of methane is:

CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O

For every 1 mole of CH4 combusted, 1 mole of CO2 is produced. Therefore, for 3.15 moles of CH4 combusted, 3.15 moles of CO2 will be produced.

Answer: 3.15 moles of CO2.
