First a balanced chemical equation is needed.
CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
There is a 1:1 ratio of moles between methane and carbon dioxide so the amount of moles of methane used is the exact number of moles of carbon dioxide yielded.
To determine the number of moles of methane we take the amount used and divide by methane's mass which is about 16.04 g/mol.
100g/ 16.04g/mol=6.234moles of methane.
6.234 moles of methane are used and 6.234 moles of carbon dioxide are produced.

What two substance are formed when methane is burned in plenty of oxygen?
When methane is burned in oxygen, assuming complete combustion, the products are carbon dioxide and water.
How many molecules of oxygen are needed for the incomplete combustion of one molecule of methane?
Oxygen is NOT a PRODUCT (it is not produced) from the complete combustion of methane, it is a REACTANT (it is used in the reaction). The answer is therefore a mass of zero.
What is the amount of water produced by the combustion of 32grams of methane?
According to Lavoisier: Mass reactants [total in] = mass products [total out] x g Methane + 32 g oxygen = 22 g carbon dioxide + 18 water x + 32 = 22 + 18 = 40 x = 40 - 32 = 8 g methane
How many moles of carbon dioxide are formed from 14 moles of methane?
When methane undergoes complete combustion, the equation for the reaction is CH4 + 2 O2 -> CO2 + 2 H2O. This shows that the number of moles of carbon dioxide formed are the same as the number of moles of methane reacted, so that 14 moles of carbon dioxide will be formed from 14 moles of methane.
What are the two main products of the combustion of methane and other fossil fuels?
Burning methane releases only carbon dioxide and water.
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 8.80103g of methane?
The answer is 24,15 g.
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 2.70103 g of methane?
Burning 2 700 g of methane produce 70406 g of carbon dioxide.
What volume of carbon dioxide gas is produced after the complete combustion of 1 L of methane gas?
1/2 liter of carbon dioxide
How are the products of combustion different when carbon is burnt rather than methane?
When carbon is burnt, Carbon Dioxide only is produced. When methane is burnt, both carbon dioxide and water are produced.
What two substance are formed when methane is burned in plenty of oxygen?
When methane is burned in oxygen, assuming complete combustion, the products are carbon dioxide and water.
What is a result of combustion?
Combustion of metals forms metal oxides. Combustion of hydrocarbons, like methane, forms carbon dioxide and water.
How many moles of H2O are produced by the complete combustion of methane?
The complete combustion of any hydrocarbon, including methane, produces one water molecule for each two atoms of hydrogen in the hydrocarbon. The formula of methane is CH4; therefore, the complete combustion of one mole of methane produces two moles of H2O.
What is the chemical formula for combustion of methane?
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + Energy (Heat) Methane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water and Energy (Heat)
When is flame produced?
A non luminous flame is produced when the air valve is opened enough to allow complete combustion of the methane gas.
Why does excess supply of oxygen lead to complete combustion?
Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon yields carbon dioxide & water; incomplete combustion yields carbon monoxide & water. By having excess oxygen you have enough oxygen to ensure complete combustion. For example the combustion of methane (CH4):complete combustion: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2Oincomplete combustion: CH4 + 1.5O2 --> CO + 2H2OAs you can see you need a 1/2 mole less of oxygen for the incomplete combustion of methane. So as long as you have twice the amount (in terms of moles) of oxygen as methane you will ensure complete combustion. So anything in excess of that will also ensure complete combustion.
What reactants produce carbon dioxide?
When an organic molecule such as methane or ethanol undergoes complete combustion (in the presence of oxygen) it produces Carbon dioxide and water.
When luminous flame is produced?
A non luminous flame is produced when the air valve is opened enough to allow complete combustion of the methane gas.
