Compute the volume of carbon dioxide formed when 8 g methane gas burns completely as represented by the equation :
`CH_(4)(g) + 2O_(2)(g) to CO_(2)(g) + 2H_(2)O(l) `

Explanation

To compute the volume of carbon dioxide (CO₂) formed when 8 g of methane (CH₄) burns completely, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation
The balanced equation for the combustion of methane is:
\[ \text{CH}_4(g) + 2\text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{CO}_2(g) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \]

### Step 2: Determine the molar mass of methane (CH₄)
The molar mass of CH₄ can be calculated as follows:
