Question

Given the balanced equation CH4(g) + 202(g) → CO2(g) + 2H₂O(g),

1. How many moles of carbon dioxide (CO₂) are formed when 40 moles
of oxygen (O₂) is consumed?

Answer 1

20 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H₂O(g)

2 moles of O2 will produce 1 mole of CO2

so 40 molesof O2 will produce 40/2 = 20 moles of CO2
