How many grams of carbon dioxide are produced from 6.95 moles of oxygen in the following reaction?

2CH4 + 4O2 → 2CO2 + 4H2O

Sagot :

Answer:

153 g CO₂

Explanation:

To begin, the reaction is not in its simplest form. The coefficients can be divided by two. However, this will not change the answer.

CH₄ + 2 O₂ --> CO₂ + 2 H₂O

You can find the grams of CO₂ by taking the moles of O₂, using the mole to mole ratio of O₂ to CO₂ (via the coefficients), then converting moles of CO₂ to grams. You will need the molar mass of CO₂ since you want to convert it from moles to grams. This is calculated using the values on the periodic table. The ratios should be written in a manner that allows for the cancellation of units. The answer should have 3 sig figs.

12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol) = 44.007 g/mol CO₂

6.95 moles O₂          1 mol CO₂           44.007 g CO₂
----------------------  x  -------------------  x  -------------------------  = 153 g CO₂

                                  2 mol O₂             1 mol CO₂
