  • Calculating CO2 Production from Methane Reaction: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the balanced chemical equation:

    CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

    2. Identify the mole ratio:

    The balanced equation shows that for every 1 mole of CH₄ reacted, 1 mole of CO₂ is produced.

    3. Calculate moles of CO₂:

    Since you have 2.0 moles of CH₄, and the mole ratio is 1:1, you will produce 2.0 moles of CO₂.
