What volume. In liters, of H2O(g) measured at STP is produced by the combustion of 15.63 g of natural gas (CH4) according to the following equation? CHale) +20269) CO2 + 2H2008)

V = 43.95 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CH₄ decomposed = 15.63 g

Volume of H₂O produced at STP = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂    →       2H₂O  + CO₂

Number of moles of CH₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15.63 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.98 mol

Now we will compare the moles of H₂O with CH₄.

                         CH₄              :              H₂O

                           1                 :                2

                        0.98             :            2×0.98 = 1.96 mol

Volume of hydrogen:

PV = nRT

1 atm × V = 1.96 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273.15 K

V = 43.95atm.L / 1atm

V = 43.95 L

that's what i got you can count the number of atoms
