**Title: Calculating Theoretical Yield in Chemical Reactions****Introduction**Understanding the theoretical yield of a chemical reaction is essential in fields such as chemistry and chemical engineering. Here, we present a simple example to illustrate how to calculate the theoretical yield of water produced in a chemical reaction.---**Problem Statement**Gaseous methane (CH₄) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (O₂) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO₂) and gaseous water (H₂O).**Given:**- 9.95 grams of methane (CH₄)- 11.5 grams of oxygen gas (O₂)**Question:**What is the theoretical yield of water formed from the reaction of the given amounts of methane and oxygen gas?**Note:** Round your answer to 3 significant figures.---**Reaction Equation**The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:\[ \text{CH}_4 + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \]---**Steps to Calculate Theoretical Yield:****1. Calculate the Molar Mass:**- Molar mass of CH₄: 12 (C) + 4 × 1 (H) = 16 g/mol- Molar mass of O₂: 2 × 16 (O) = 32 g/mol- Molar mass of H₂O: 2 × 1 (H) + 16 (O) = 18 g/mol**2. Convert Grams to Moles:**- Moles of CH₄: \[ \frac{9.95 \text{ g}}{16 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.622 \text{ mol} \] - Moles of O₂: \[ \frac{11.5 \text{ g}}{32 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.359 \text{ mol} \]**3. Determine the Limiting Reagent:**From the balanced equation, 1 mole of CH₄ reacts with 2 moles of O₂.- Moles of O₂ needed for 0.622 mol of CH₄: \[ 0.622 \text{ mol CH}_4 \times 2 \text{ mol O}_2/\text{mol CH

The limiting reagent is the reactant this will used up completely in the reaction.
