We allow 32.0 g of methane (CH4) to react as completely as possible with excess of O2 to form CO2 and H2O. How many moles of O2 will react?

Open in App
Solution

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion reaction is,
CH4+2O2CO2+2H2O
Thus, 1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen.
2 moles of methane (32.0 g) will react with 4 moles of oxygen.
