Answer: 6.8 moles of oxygen are needed to completely react with 3.4 moles of
CH_4

Step-by-step explanation:


CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

According to reaction, 1 mole of
CH_4 is reacting with 2 moles of
O_2 then, 3.4 moles of CH_4 will react with :


=(2)/(1)* 3.4 \text{moles of }O_2 = 6.8 moles of
O_2

Hence, 6.8 moles of oxygen are needed to completely react with 3.4 moles of
CH_4.
