Answer :
[tex]CH4+O2=CO2+4H20 [/tex]
now split the equation in half
CH4+O2 I CO2 + 4H2O
C = 1 I C = 1
H = 4 I H = 8
O = 2 I O = 3
CH4+ 2O2 = CO2 + 2H20
Answer:
[tex]\huge \boxed{\mathrm{CH_4+ 2O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 +2 H_2O}}[/tex]
[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]\sf CH_4+ O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O[/tex]
Balancing the Hydrogen atoms on the right side,
[tex]\sf CH_4+ O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 +2 H_2O[/tex]
Balancing the Oxygen atoms on the left side,
[tex]\sf CH_4+ 2O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 +2 H_2O[/tex]
[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
