A district heating plant burns methane completely in oxygen. The combustion produces 1100 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O \mathrm{CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O} CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2ORelative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): C = 12.0 H = 1.0 O = 16.0
Calculate the mass of methane burned.
