Question

A balanced equation for combustion of methane is given below:

$CH_{4(g)} + 2O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} + 2H_{2}O_{(g)}$

Which of the following statements is not correct on the basis of the above chemical equation?

• A. One mole of $CH_{4}$reacts with 2 moles of oxygen of give one mole of $CO_{2}$ and 2 moles of water

• B. One molecule of $CH_{4}$reacts with 2 molecules of oxygen to give one molecule of $CO_{2}$and 2 molecules of water.

• C. $22.4L$of methane reacts with $44.8L$ of oxygen to give $44.8L$of $CO_{2}$ and $22.4L$of water.
• D. 16 g of methane reacts with 64 g of $O_{2}$to give 44 g of $CO_{2}$and 36 g of water.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$22.4L$of methane reacts with $44.8L$ of oxygen to give $44.8L$of $CO_{2}$ and $22.4L$of water.

Answer 2

: $22.4L$of methane reacts with $44.8L$of oxygen to give $22.4L$of $Co_{2}$and $44.8L$of water.
