Expert Solution
Step 1: Writing the given information,

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous Oxygen (O2) gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H2O).

CH4(g) + O2(g) ----> CO2(g) + H2O

Balancing the above equation,

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) ----> CO2(g) + 2H2O

mass of methane (CH4) reacts = 0.48 g

mass of Oxygen (O2) reacts = 3.6 g

Theoretical yield of water (H2O) = ?

Note:

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

molar mass of Oxygen (O2) = 32.0 g/mol

molar mass of water (H2O) = 18.015 g/mol
