Balanced equation: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O
1)
2.14 mol H2O x (2 mol O2/2 mol H2O) = 2.14 mol O2
2.14 moles of oxygen gas are needed to produce 2.14 moles of water due to the 2/2 molar ratio.
2)
67g CO2 x (1 mol CO2 / 44.01g CO2) = 1.52 mol CO2
1.52 mol CO2 x (2 mol O2 / 1 mol CO2) = 3.04 O2
3.04 moles of oxygen can be formed from 67 grams of carbon dioxide because of the 2/1 molar ratio.
3)
29g CH4 x (1 mol CH4 / 16.04g CH4) = 1.81 mol CH4
1.81 mol CH4 x (1 mol CO2 / 1 mol CH4) = 1.81 mol CO2
1.81 mol CO2 x (44.01g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 79.66 g CO2
79.66 grams of carbon dioxide can be formed from 29 grams of methane (carbon tetrahydride).
