Question

a) What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 9.00 x 10-3 g of methane? 

b) What mass of water is produced from the complete combustion of 9.00 x 10-3 g of methane? 

c) What mass of oxygen is produced from the complete combustion of 9.00 x 10-3 g of methane? 

The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation
provide the mole-to-mole stoichiometry among the
reactants and products. The molar mass (in
g/mol) can be used as the conversion factor
Complete combustion of methane
When methane (CH4) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The
unbalanced equation for this reaction is
between moles and the mass of a substance.
CH4 (g) + O2 (g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)
Thus, the balanced equation and molar masses
can be used in conjunction with one another to
calculate the masses involved in a reaction.
This type of reaction is referred to as a complete combustion reaction.
