Respuesta :

cristisp93

CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

In the combustion reaction methane (CH₄) will react with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

So the balanced chemical reaction will be:

CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O
