Answer #1

CH4 + 2O2 ----------------------> CO2 + 2H2O

16 g      64 g                             44 g

16 g       32 g

limiting reagent is O2 .

mass of CO2 produced = 44 x 32 / 64 = 22 g

theoretical yield = 22 g

percent yield = actual x 100 / theroretical

                       = 11 x 100 / 22

                          = 50 %

answer : d) 50 %
