How many grams of methane, CH4 are produced from the complete reaction of 5.15 moles of carbon monoxide, CO

The grams of CH4 that is produced is 82.4 grams

calculation

Co + 3 H₂ → H₂O + CH₄

Step 1 : Use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of CH4

The mole ratio of Co: CH4 is 1:1 therefore the moles of CH4

= 5.15 moles

step 2 : use the mass of CH4

mass = moles x molar mass

molar mass of CH4 = 12 + (1 x 4) = 16 g/mol

mass is therefore = 5.15 moles x 16 g/mol = 82.4 grams
