1. Gaseous CH4 reacts with O2 according to the following UNBALANCED equation:
CH4 + O2 -->  CO2 + H2O
What volume of oxygen at 20ºC and 97kPa is needed to react with 3.50 mol of CH4?

2. What volume of CO2 measured at 25ºC and 0.95atm is produced by the combustion of 12.0g of natural gas (C3H8) according to the following UNBALANCED equation?
C3H8 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

3. Hydrogen sulfide combines with water according to the following UNBALANCED equation:
H2S + H2O --> H2 + SO2

1. Gaseous CH4 reacts with O2 according to the following UNBALANCED equation:
CH4 + O2  CO2 + H2O
What volume of oxygen at 20ºC and 97kPa is needed to react with 3.50 mol of CH4?
First we need to write the balanced equation

So 1 mole of CH4 reacts with 2 moles of O2. Now we have 3.50 mol of CH4, so 7 mol of O2 is needed.
According to ideal gas law

So the volume of oxygen is 175.8 liters.

2. What volume of CO2 measured at 25ºC and 0.95atm is produced by the combustion of 12.0g of natural gas (C3H8) according to the following UNBALANCED equation?
C3H8 + O2  CO2 + H2O
The balanced equation is

So 1 mole of C3H8 will produce 3 moles of CO2. Now we have
C3H8.
Thus, the moles of CO2 is
The pressure is
Similar to problem 1, according to ideals gas law

The volume of CO2 is 21.06 ...
