Question

A balanced equation for combustion of methane is given below:CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g)Which of the following statements is not correct on the basis of the above chemical equation?A One mole of CH4 reacts with 2 moles of oxygen to give one mole of CO2 and 2 moles of water.B One molecule of CH4 reacts with 2 molecules of oxygen to give one molecule of CO2 and 2 molecules of water.C 22.4 L methane reacts with 44.8L of oxygen to give 44.8L of CO2 and 22.4 L of waterD 16 g of methane reacts with 64 g of O2 to give 44 g of CO2 and 36 g of water.

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

One mole of methane and 2 moles of oxygen combine to produce one mole of carbon dioxide and two moles of water.

This means that 44.8 L of water and 22.4 L of carbon dioxide are produced, not 22.4 L of water and 44.8 L of carbon dioxide.
