CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O
x / 64 = 1 / 16
x = 4 g oxygen
Assuming oxygen is 20% oxygen...
4 = .2 x
x = 20 g air that is one possible answer.
A better answer--- air is 20% oxygen by volume and 80% nitrogen by volume.
1g methane / 16 = 0.0625 mole
0.0625 / 1mole meth = x / 2mole oxy
x = 0.125 mole oxygen =20% of air
--- 0.625 mole 'air'
0.2 x 32 + 0.8 x 28 = 28.8 g/mole of air
0.625 x 28.8 = 18 grams of air
Since air is 20% oxygen by volume, the 2nd answer is best.

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
What mass of carbon dioxide is formed by the complete combustion of 805g of methanol?
The mass of CO2 is 1 105 g.
Why is mass conserved during the combution of methane?
Its conserved during the combustion of anything - the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the materials that react.
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 6.80103g of methane?
The balanced equation for the complete combustion of methane is CH4 + 2 O2 -> CO2 + 2 H2O. This equation shows that each mole of methane produces one mole of carbon dioxide. The mass of carbon dioxide produced by complete combustion of any mass of methane will therefore equal the mass of methane reacted multiplied by the ratio of the gram molecular masses of carbon dioxide and methane. The answer to the question therefore is about (6.80103)(44.0098)/(16.04276) or 18.6953 grams of carbon dioxide, to the justified number of significant digits.
what is the mass in grams of oxygen, is needed to complete combustion of 6 L of methane?
what is the mass in grams of oxygen, is needed to complete combustion of 6 L of methane?
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 8.80103g of methane?
The answer is 24,15 g.

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 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.
Why the combined mass of CO2 and H2O produced in the combustion analysis of methane greater than mass of the methane sample being analysed?
The mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.
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
What mass of carbon dioxide is formed by the complete combustion of 805g of methanol?
The mass of CO2 is 1 105 g.
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by the complete combustion of 5.50 grams of hexane?
16.9

How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced from the complete combustion of 100.0 grams of methane?
First a balanced chemical equation is needed.CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2OThere 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.
When methane burns carbon dioxide and water are formed The mass of carbon dioxide plus the mass of water equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of OXYGEN?
When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.
