CH4 reacts with excess oxygen as shown and 300 g of water is recovered from 150 g of methane. What is the percentage yield? CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

c. 4.54 x 10–12 j happens to be correct

option c: 1605.1 kj

the balanced chemical reaction for combustion of methane is as follows:

here, enthalpy formation of is -74.7 kj/mol, 0 kj/mol, -393.5 kj/mol and -241.82 kj/mol respectively.

the heat released or can be calculated as follow:

putting the values,

thus, heat released by combustion of 1 mol of methane is 802.54 kj/mol. thus, for 2 mol, heat released will be:

therefore, heat released by the combustion of 2 mol of methane is 1605.1 kj.
