Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation of combustion of methane is to be written.
Concept introduction:
In a combustion reaction of hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide and water are formed.
Answer to Problem 91A
Methane undergoes complete combustion by oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water
Explanation of Solution
The reaction can be explained as:
One mol of methane reacts with two mol oxygen to form two mol water and one mol carbon dioxide.
(b)
Interpretation:
The volume ratio of methane to carbon water is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Stoichiometry concepts are used for it.
(b)
Answer to Problem 91A
Explanation of Solution
Volume ratios are calculated by first balancing the reaction then using coefficients of reactant and product as volume equivalents.
The balanced chemical equation is as follows:
Here, the volume of ratio of methane to water is 1:2.
