Calculate the amount of \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) gas produced, when \(32 \mathrm{~g}\) moles of \(\mathrm{CH}_4\) is burned with sufficient amount of oxygen. (Given, atomic weights of \(\mathrm{C}=12, \mathrm{O}=16, \mathrm{H}=1\))
  1. \(132 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. \(44 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. \(88 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. \(176 \mathrm{~g}\)

Solution

\(\begin{array}{cc} & \mathrm{CH}_4+2 \mathrm{O}_2 &\longrightarrow & \mathrm{CO}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & 1 \mathrm{~mol} && 1 \mathrm{~mol} \\ & 16 \mathrm{~g} && 44 \mathrm{~g} \\ \text{(Given)} & 32 \mathrm{~g} & \longrightarrow & 88 \mathrm{~g} \end{array}\) Since \(88 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{CO}_2\) gas produced.
