Combustion reaction of Methane is given as

\mathrm{CH}_{4}+2 \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

\\\text{moles of methane }=\frac{100}{16}=6.25\\ \\\text{moles of oxygen }=\frac{208}{32}=6.5

Limiting reagent is \mathrm{O_{2}}

\\\mathrm{\therefore moles\; of \; \mathrm{CO}_{2}=\frac{6.5}{2}=3.25}\\\\ \mathrm{\therefore mass\; of \; \mathrm{CO}_{2}=3.25 \times 44=143 \mathrm{~g}}

Hence, the answer is 143
