Jorge Palmer · Answer 1

The balanced chemical reaction for the reaction of carbon dioxide with the hydrogen gas is,

CO2 + 4H2 - - - > CH4 + 2H2O

From that, each mole of CO2 reacted with excess hydrogen gas will produce 1 mole of methane. Therefore, 48.1 moles CO2 also theoretically produce 48.1 moles of methane.
