Methane burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water according to the equation below. CH4 (g) + O2 (g) --> CO2 (g) + H2O (g) Balance the equation and answer the question below. If 3.25 moles of CH4 reacts, how many moles of H2O will form?

The reaction of methane and water is one way to prepare hydrogen. $$ \mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+4 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) $$ If $995 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{CH}_{4}$ reacts with $2510 \mathrm{~g}$ water, how many moles of reactants and products are there when the reaction is complete?
