Question

We allow $32.0$ g of methane ( $C H_{4}$ ) to react as completely as possible with excess of $O_{2}$ to form $C O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ . How many moles of $O_{2}$ will react?

Open in App

Solution

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion reaction is,
$C H_{4} + 2 O_{2} \to C O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
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.
