हिन्दीIn the combustion of methane: \( \text{CH}_4\text{(g)} + 2\text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{CO}_2\text{(g)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}\text{(g)} \), what volume of dioxygen at STP is required to completely react with 16 g of methane?
Correct answer · Option 3
2 moles of \( \text{O}_2 \) / 44.8 L
Explanation
16 g of \( \text{CH}_4 \) is 1 mole. From stoichiometry, 1 mole of \( \text{CH}_4 \) reacts with 2 moles of \( \text{O}_2 \), occupying 44.8 L at STP.
