How many moles of methane are produced when 59.6 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas?

The number of mole of methane, CH₄ produced when 59.6 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas is 59.6 moles

To solve this question, we'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CO₂ reacted to produce 1 mole of CH₄

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of methane, CH₄ produced by the reaction of 59.6 moles of CO₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CO₂ reacted to produce 1 mole of CH₄.

Therefore,

59.6 moles of CO₂ will also react to produce 59.6 moles of CH₄.

Thus, we can conclude that 59.6 moles of methane, CH₄ were obtained from the reaction.

The answer to your question is: 59.6 mol of CH₄

Explanation:

Data

Methane = ? moles

CO2 = 59.6 moles

H2 = ?

Reaction

                     4H₂   +   CO₂     ⇒    CH₄    +     2H₂O

                            1 mol of CO₂    1 mol of CH₄

                           59.6 mol           x

                           x = 59.6 mol of CH₄
