The reaction formula CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O shows the oxidation of 1 mole of CH4 (Methane) will yield 1 mole of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). Since 1 mole of CH4 will weigh 12g (for the Carbon) + 4g (1g for each Hydrogen) = 16g, then 32g of CH4 will correspond to 32g / 16g/mole = 2 moles. Therefore the oxidation of 2 moles of CH4 will yield 2 moles of CO2.
