The mass of oxygen required for the complete combustion of 1.6 kg of methane is 6.4 kg.
 

The molecular mass of methane = CH4= 16 g 

The following is the combustion reaction of methane,

CH4 + 2 O2   CO2 + 2 H2O

 

The mass of methane molecule is 16 g.
The mass of oxygen molecule is 32g.
2 molecules of oxygen are used for the combustion of 1 molecule of methane.

Hence, the amount of oxygen required for the complete combustion of 16 g of methane = 32 ×2=64 g


So, the amount of oxygen required for the complete combustion of 1.6 kg of methane=Mass of O2 Mass of CH4×Amount of CH4=64 × 1.616= 6.4 kg
