Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the moles of methane (CH\(_4\))

First, we need to find the molar mass of methane (CH\(_4\)):

\[ \text{Molar mass of CH}_4 = 12.01 \, (\text{C}) + 4 \times 1.008 \, (\text{H}) = 16.042 \, \text{g/mol} \]

Next, we calculate the moles of methane:

\[ \text{Moles of CH}_4 = \frac{8.32 \, \text{g}}{16.042 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.5185 \, \text{mol} \]

Step 2: Calculate the moles of O\(_2\) used

From the balanced chemical equation, we see that 1 mole of CH\(_4\) reacts with 2 moles of O\(_2\):

\[ \text{Moles of O}_2 = 0.5185 \, \text{mol CH}_4 \times 2 \, \frac{\text{mol O}_2}{\text{mol CH}_4} = 1.037 \, \text{mol O}_2 \]

Step 3: Calculate the mass of O\(_2\) used

Now, we find the molar mass of O\(_2\):

\[ \text{Molar mass of O}_2 = 2 \times 16.00 \, \text{g/mol} = 32.00 \, \text{g/mol} \]

Then, we calculate the mass of O\(_2\) used:

\[ \text{Mass of O}_2 = 1.037 \, \text{mol} \times 32.00 \, \text{g/mol} = 33.18 \, \text{g} \]

Step 4: Calculate the moles of CO\(_2\) and H\(_2\)O formed

From the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of CH\(_4\) produces 1 mole of CO\(_2\) and 2 moles of H\(_2\)O:

\[ \text{Moles of CO}_2 = 0.5185 \, \text{mol CH}_4 \times 1 \, \frac{\text{mol CO}_2}{\text{mol CH}_4} = 0.5185 \, \text{mol CO}_2 \]

\[ \text{Moles of H}_2\text{O} = 0.5185 \, \text{mol CH}_4 \times 2 \, \frac{\text{mol H}_2\text{O}}{\text{mol CH}_4} = 1.037 \, \text{mol H}_2\text{O} \]

Step 5: Calculate the mass of CO\(_2\) and H\(_2\)O formed

First, we find the molar masses of CO\(_2\) and H\(_2\)O:

\[ \text{Molar mass of CO}_2 = 12.01 \, (\text{C}) + 2 \times 16.00 \, (\text{O}) = 44.01 \, \text{g/mol} \]

\[ \text{Molar mass of H}_2\text{O} = 2 \times 1.008 \, (\text{H}) + 16.00 \, (\text{O}) = 18.016 \, \text{g/mol} \]

Then, we calculate the masses:

\[ \text{Mass of CO}_2 = 0.5185 \, \text{mol} \times 44.01 \, \text{g/mol} = 22.81 \, \text{g} \]

\[ \text{Mass of H}_2\text{O} = 1.037 \, \text{mol} \times 18.016 \, \text{g/mol} = 18.68 \, \text{g} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{Mass of O}_2 = 33.18 \, \text{g}} \]

\[ \boxed{\text{Mass of CO}_2 = 22.81 \, \text{g}} \]

\[ \boxed{\text{Mass of H}_2\text{O} = 18.68 \, \text{g}} \]
