QUESTION:

A mixture of methane (\(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\)) and ethane (\(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\)) of mass 13.43 g is completely burned in oxygen. If the total mass of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) produced is 64.84 g, calculate the fraction of \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\) in the mixture.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The goal of the problem is to calculate the fraction of  in the mixture.

Given:

Mass of mixture of methane () and ethane () =  13.43 g

Mass of  and  produced = 64.84 g.

 The balanced equations are:  

let ‘x’ be mass of  and (13.43 - x) g be the mass of .

Next, let’s calculate the mass of  and  produced by  and .
