5.6 liters of methane gas is ignited in oxygen gas calculate the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced

The equation for the reaction:

 

CH  4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

 

At S.T.P., 1 mol of gas = 22.4 L


So, 22.4 L of CH
4 will give 22.4L of CO2 
⇒ 1L of CH
4 will give 1L of CO2 
⇒ 5.6L of CH
4 gives 5.6L of CO2

 

At S.T.P.

22.4L = 1 mol

⇒ 5.6 L = 5.6/22.4= 0.25 mol

Thus, 5.6L of methane will give 0.25 mol of carbon dioxide

CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

this is the balanced equation for combustion of methane....
22.4 L of CH4 gives 22.4L of CO2
so by unitary method, we have
1L of CH4 gives 1L of CO2
so 5.6L of CH4 gives 5.6L of CO2

 

ANS 5.6L

Can I know how many moles???

  • 4

moles = volume of gasL/22.4L

             = 1/4
