Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
of methane burns completely: . Find the mass of oxygen needed, and the masses of carbon dioxide and water made. Use , , and .
The coefficients of a balanced equation give the ratio of moles. Grams to moles: ; use the ratio; moles to grams: . The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
