Methane is a major component of natural gas, which is used as a fuel in homes.Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air.

Respuesta :

Answer:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Explanation:

Methane is an hydrocarbon. Whenever hydrocarbon undergoes a reactio with oxygen, the products formed are carbon(iv) oxide and water.

The equation of the reaction is given as;

CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

Upon balancing the equation, we have;

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
