Given the following equation: CH4 + 202 CO2 + 2H2O How many grams of CH4 are needed to react with 3.2 grams of O2?

Mass = 0.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 3.2 g

Mass of CH₄ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂     →     CO₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of O₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.2 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CH₄ and O₂.

                         O₂          :       CH₄  

                           2          :          1

                         0.1         :        1/2 = 0.1 = 0.05

Mass of CH₄:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.05 mol ×  16 g/mol

Mass = 0.8 g

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
