Question

How many moles of methane are produced when 36.6 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Answer:

$36.6molCH_4$

Explanation:

Hello,

The carried out chemical reaction is:

$CO_2+4H_2-->CH_4+2H_2O$

With the given moles of carbon dioxide, one computes the required moles of methane by applying the following stoichiometric relationship based on the undergoing chemical reaction.

$36.6molesCO_2*\frac{1molCH_4}{1molCO_2}=36.6molCH_4$
