Question
The image shows the combustion of methane. Which equation represents this chemical reaction? A. CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O B. 2CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O C. CH4 + 2O2 → 2CO2 + H2O D. CH4 + O2 → 2CO2 + 2 H2O E. CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
Solution
The correct equation for the combustion of methane is E. CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. This equation represents the complete combustion of methane, where one molecule of methane (CH4) reacts with two molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) and two molecules of water (H2O).
