Q1 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (31 Jan Shift 1) · Chemistry

Number of moles of methane required to produce 22g CO2(g) after combustion is x×10–2 moles. The value of x is

Correct answer: 50

Solution

CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O

Gram molecular mass of CO2=12+2(16)=44 g/mol

From the reaction, it is clear that 1 mole of methane on complete combustion produces 44 g (1 mole) of carbon dioxide.

Therefore moles of CH4 required to produce 22 g of CO2 are:

=144×22=0.5 mol =50×10-2 mol

Hence, m=50

Hence, the correct answer is 50.
