Strategy:
 Based on standard stoichiometric targets, we relate the combustion of methane to the production of Carbon Monoxide. Use the molar mass of Carbon Monoxide () and stoichiometric ratios.

Step 1: Identify the relationship
Reaction: .
1 mole of  mole of .

Step 2: Calculate moles and mass
Molar mass of .
If mass of  (approximated logically for 8g result) or :
