Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mol of methane is 16 grams. Therefore, if you have 100 grams of methane, it means that you have

100

16

=

6.25

moles of methane.

When you burn 6.25 moles of methane, you produce 6.25 moles of carbondioxide.

Your reaction is wrong though. I want to correct it.

When you burn 6.25 moles of methane, you need 12.5 moles of oxygen gas.

When you burn 6.25 moles of methane, you produce 6.25 moles of carbondioxide (275 grams of
