If 12 molecules of methane reacted with plenty of oxygen, we should expect to produce molecules of car on dioxide and molecules of water

12 molecules of carbon dioxide

24 molecules of water

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of methane = 12 molecules

Unknown:

Number of molecules of carbon dioxide = ?

Number of molecules of water = ?

Solution:

The given amount of methane is the limiting reagent in this reaction. By this, we can ascertain the amount of products that will be formed and the extent of the reaction.

We first write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction;

             CH₄     +    2O₂    →     CO₂   +     2H₂O

From balanced equation;

                 1 mole of methane produced 1 mole of carbon dioxide

  12 molecules of methane will produce 12 molecules of carbon dioxide

Also;

             1 mole of methane produced 2 moles of water;

12 molecules of methane will produce (12 x 2)molecules = 24 molecules of water

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
