    The combustion reaction for methane is as follows

    CH4 + 2O2 - > CO2 + 2H2O

    Stoichiometry of methane to CO2 is 1:1

    Since oxygen is in excess, methane is the limiting reactant therefore amount of CO2 produced depends on methane reacted,

    Number of methane moles reacted = 136 g / 16 g/mol = 8.5 mol

    Therefore moles of CO2 to be produced = 8.5 mol

    Theoretically mass of CO2 to be produced = 8.5 mol x 44 g/mol = 374 g

    However actual yield = 353 g

    Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%

    Percent yield = 353 g / 374 g x100%

    Percentage yield of CO2 = 94.4%
