  • Methane Combustion: CO2 and H2O Production from 4 CH4
    From the given information, we have 4 molecules of CH4 (methane) and excess O2 (oxygen). The combustion reaction between methane and oxygen is:

    CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

    1. Calculating the number of CO2 molecules:

    From the balanced chemical equation, we see that for every 1 molecule of CH4, 1 molecule of CO2 is produced. Therefore, for 4 molecules of CH4, we can produce 4 molecules of CO2.

    Answer: 4 molecules of CO2 can be made.

    2. Calculating the number of H2O molecules:

    From the balanced chemical equation, we see that for every 1 molecule of CH4, 2 molecules of H2O are produced. Therefore, for 4 molecules of CH4, we can produce 8 molecules of H2O.

    Answer: 8 molecules of H2O can be made.
