Answer #1

49)

Molar mass of CH4,

MM = 1*MM(C) + 4*MM(H)

= 1*12.01 + 4*1.008

= 16.042 g/mol

mass(CH4)= 6.25 g

use:

number of mol of CH4,

n = mass of CH4/molar mass of CH4

=(6.25 g)/(16.04 g/mol)

= 0.3896 mol

Balanced chemical equation is:

CH4 + 2 O2 ---> 2 H2O + CO2

Molar mass of H2O,

MM = 2*MM(H) + 1*MM(O)

= 2*1.008 + 1*16.0

= 18.016 g/mol

According to balanced equation

mol of H2O formed = (2/1)* moles of CH4

= (2/1)*0.3896

= 0.7792 mol

use:

mass of H2O = number of mol * molar mass

= 0.7792*18.02

= 14.04 g

Answer: 14.0 g
