Given the following chemical reaction: 2 o2 + ch4 co2 + 2 h2o what mass of co2 is produced in the reaction of 4 moles of ch4 in excess o2? 6 c 12.01 carbon 1 h 1.01 hydrogen 8 o 16.00 oxygen a. 44 grams b. 64 grams c. 164 grams d. 176 grams

D. 176 grams

Explanation:

As methane is a limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and oxygen is the excess reagent as it is in excess.

According to the given balanced equation,

1 mole of methane produces 1 mole of

Thus 4 moles of methane will produce 4 moles of

Mass of

Mass of

Thus 176 g of is produced in the reaction of 4 moles of in excess .

the answer is b. dilution

the answer is option a.
