Calculate the amount of water (g) produced by the combustion of 16 g of methane

Explanation

To calculate the amount of water produced by the combustion of 16 g of methane (CH₄), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane.
The combustion of methane can be represented by the following equation:
\[ \text{CH}_4 + 2 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \]

### Step 2: Determine the molecular weight of methane (CH₄).
To find the molecular weight of methane, we sum the atomic weights of its constituent elements:
