The number of moles of methane required to produce 11 g CO2(g) after complete combustion is : (Given molar mass of methane in g mol-1 : 16)
- 0.35
- 0.25
- 0.5
- 0.75
Answer
(2) 0.25
Solution
CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O
∵ 1 mol CH4 gives 1 mol CO2 (one C atom each)
Moles of CO2 = 1144 = 0.25 mol
∴ Moles of CH4 = 0.25 mol
