Copper oxide reacts with methane as shown 4CuO + CH₄ --> 4Cu + 2H₂O + CO₂ . How many moles of carbon dioxide would be made from 0.8 moles of copper oxide and 0.4 moles of methane? could you give me the answer
Since you are given moles, and it is asking for moles, it means that you only need to complete "step 2" or using the coefficient ratios to calculate how many moles will be produced. Since there are 4CuO for every 1 CO2: 0.8mol CuO ( 1 mol CO2/4 mol CuO) = 0.8/4 = 0.2 moles of CO2 produced. Since there is 1 CH4 for every 1 CO2: 0.4mol CH4 (1 mol CO2/ 1 molCH4) = .4*1/1 = 0.4 moles of CO2 produced.
You can't produce 2 different amounts. This just shows how much you COULD calculate if nothing else ran out. The smallest amount is what is actually produced.

ReplyDeleteSince there are 4CuO for every 1 CO2:
0.8mol CuO ( 1 mol CO2/4 mol CuO) = 0.8/4 = 0.2 moles of CO2 produced.

0.4mol CH4 (1 mol CO2/ 1 molCH4) = .4*1/1 = 0.4 moles of CO2 produced.
