Question
The amount of generated (in kg) while completely oxidizing one kg of to the end products is ____________
Correct answer
2.7 to 2.8
Solution
The complete oxidation of methane () is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:1. Molecular Weights:
According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of (16 g) reacts to produce 1 mole of (44 g).
Therefore, 16 kg of will produce 44 kg of .3. Mass of for 1 kg of :The amount of generated is 2.75 kg, which falls within the accepted range of 2.7 to 2.8.
