Expert Solution
Step 1

The reaction of methane with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide is a combustion reaction. The balance chemical equation for this reaction is 

 CH4 (g)  + 2O2 (g) ----> CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g)  

From this chemical equation looking at the stoichiometric coefficient of reactant and product we can say that 

1 mole of CH4 (g)  produces 1 mole of CO2 (g)
