What happens if 0.1 mole methane reacts with 0.1 mole oxygen gas?
Ahanand
Lets start with the reaction of methane fully reacting with oxygen:
CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O
The ratio CH4:O2 is 1:2
So 0.1 mole of methane can potentially react with 0.2 mole of oxygen.
Seeing as we only have 0.1 mole oxygen we know that we have excess of methane.
Because of the lack of oxygen the methane can form carbonmonoxide (CO) instead of CO2.
(if someone knows the composition of the final product, please add here. As far as i know, you cant predict the CO:CO2 ratio.)

What are the reactants when methane burns in oxygen?
The reactants when methane burns in oxygen are methane and oxygen. The products are CO2, water and heat about 890 Kj/mole is given out. The equation is : CH4(g) + 2O2 _______> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat (-890 Kj/mole) When one mole of methane gas reacts with (burns in) 2 moles of oxygen gas we get 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water and 890 Kilo joules of heat is released. This reaction is exothermic as heat is released and a combustion reaction as methane gas is burned in free supply oxygen not limited supply otherwise carbon monoxide (CO) will be formed. Hope that helped you out. :-D
If 1 mole of methane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water what is the mass of water produced?
Look for the reaction equation: CH4(g) +2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) So it is 1:1 for methane:carbon dioxide so there is 1 mole of CO2 formed and hence 6.022 x 1023 molecules.
How much heat is released when methane and oxygen are burned?
890 kJ of energy are released when I mole of methane (16 g) is completely burned in oxygen.
What is the mole ratio of air to methane gas in the cumbustion of methane?
If by "air" you mean oxygen, then the mole ratio can by found by balancing a reaction equation. CH4 + 202 -> CO2 + 2H2O The ratio is 1:2.
Word equation for the combustion of natural gas?
Natural gas + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Watereg: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2OWhere complete combustion of methane (CH4, a natural gas) is achieved.After stating what precisely is meant by 'natural gas' (could be methane o.s.e.) then, in words, it could be something like:"One mole of the natural gas 'methane' reacts with two moles of oxygen to form one mole of carbon dioxide and two moles of water"Well, a simple chemical notation is easier and less ambiguous!

When methane cH4 gas is burned in the presence of oxygen the following chemical reaction occurs.cH4 plus 2O2 cO2 plus 2H2O if 1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen then?
6.02x10^23 molecules of CO2 and 1.2x10^24 molecules of H2O are produced.

How many moles of oxygen are required to react completely with 1.0 mole of c2h2?
2C2H2 + 5O2 ---->4CO2 + 2H2O so 1 mole of acetylene (ethyne) reacts with 2.5 moles of oxygen. Answer 2.5 moles
How many molecules of oxygen 2 are needed to react with which molecule of methane CH4?
6 molecules of oxygen are needed to react with 3 methane molecules as one molecule of oxygen ( O2) are needed for methane gas.
Use the mole ratio to determine the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced when 0.136 mole of 1-heptanol reacts with excess oxygen in a combustion reaction?
0.95 - 0.954
Description of 16.0 grams of methane?
I mole - 16g of methane is 1 mole. At STP it would occupy 22.4 liters
If in the previous problem only 25.9 grams of water vapor were formed how much methane actually reacted with oxygen?
Methane and oxygen react according to the equation:CH4 + 2O2 -->CO2 + 2H2O Thus 1 mole of methane produces 2 moles of water. 25.9 g of water is 25.9/18 moles = 1.44 moles.So we must have started with 0.72 moles of methane, which is 0.72 x 16 g= 11.51 g of methane.
Is this reaction Endothermic The combustion of propane in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. And does methane or propane produce more energy combustion I just dont understand this?
All the combustion reactions I know of are exothermic because heat is released instead of absorbed. And propane gives more energy than methane cause it has more Cs and Hs to react with Oxygen, so one mole of propane will react more and form more product than one mole of methane and giving out more energy.
