How much oxygen is needed to burn 20 mol of methane?

1. Combustion of methane in oxygen is described by the reaction equation:

CH4 + O2 = CO2 + 2H2O;

2.the amounts of methane and oxygen according to the reaction equation are related as 1: 1:

n (O2) = n (CH4) = 20 mol;

3.Calculate the volume of oxygen required for the reaction:

V (O2) = n (O2) * Vm = 20 * 22.4 = 448 liters.

Answer: 448 l.
