What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 6.00×10−3 g of methane?

The answer for the following problem is explained below.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of methane = 6.00 × 10^-3 grams

+ → +

Firstly balance the following equation:

Before balancing the equation:

→

After balancing the equation:

→

where;

 represents methane molecule

represents oxygen molecule

 represents carbon dioxide molecule

 represents water molecule

        +2 → + 2

        16  grams of methane       →        44 grams of carbon dioxide

        6 × 10^-3 grams of methane →          ?

                 =

          = 16.5 × 10^-3 grams of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion.

Therefore 16.5 × 10^-3 grams of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion.
