CH4 at the rate 10 mole/min is reacted with O2 at the rate 10 mole/min, what is the rate of formation of CO2 in the product?

CH4 at the rate 10 mole/min is reacted with O2 at the rate 10 mole/min, what is the rate of formation of CO2 in the product? Correct Answer 5 mole/min

The balanced chemical reaction is: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O, this means O2 is the limiting reagent, => rate of formation of CO2 = 10/2 = 5 mole/min.
