1. Balanced Chemical Equation:

First, write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane (CH₄):

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

2. Mole Ratio:

From the balanced equation, we see that 1 mole of CH₄ reacts to produce 1 mole of CO₂.

3. Calculation:

Since the mole ratio is 1:1, burning 44 moles of CH₄ will produce 44 moles of CO₂.
