In the reaction CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O, how many liters of O₂ react with 5.0 liters of CH₄? All gas volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure but not at STP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of CH₄ reacts with 2 moles of O₂. Therefore, 5.0 liters of CH₄ will react with 10 liters of O₂, maintaining the 1:2 volume ratio under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.
