At a given temperature, an 8*mol8⋅mol quantity of methane that occupies a volume of 200*L200⋅L is combusted with stoichiometric oxygen gas. Can you address...?
"(i) the molar quantity of dioxygen gas required for equivalence;"(i) the molar quantity of dioxygen gas required for equivalence;
"(ii) the volume of dioxygen gas required for equivalence;"(ii) the volume of dioxygen gas required for equivalence;
1 Answer
We need a stoichiometrically balanced equation:
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation tells us that
We started with
Since the volume is specified, there thus must be TWICE the volume of dioxygen compared to methane for stoichiometric equivalence.
