Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (0₂) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO₂) and gaseous water (H₂O). If 9.73 g of water is produced from the reaction of 6.10 g of methane and 48.6 g of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of water. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

mass of methane (CH4) = 6.10 g

mass of Oxygen gas (O2) = 48.6 g

Actual yield of water = 9.73 g

Percent yield of water = ?

Note: 

Molar mass of methane (CH4) = 16.04 g/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen gas (O2) = 32.0 g/mol

Molar mass of water (H2O) = 18.015
