How many moles of methane are required to produce 22g co2 after combustion

Answer 1

First, write the balanced equation for the combustion of methane (CH₄)

CH₄ + 2O₂ ==> CO₂ + 2H₂O ... balanced equation

Next, convert 22 g CO₂ to moles of CO₂ by using 44 g / mol CO₂ as the molar mass:

22 g CO₂ x 1 mol CO₂ / 44 g = 0.50 moles CO₂

Finally, use the stoichiometry of the balanced equation to find moles of methane needed:

0.50 moles CO₂ x 1 mol CH₄ / 1 mol CO₂ = 0.5 moles CH₄ needed
