The common substance among the product(s) of the first equation and among the reactant(s) in the second equation is H2O(g). We can eliminate that as an intermediate. The overall chemical equation will thus be:
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l),
which is the first answer choice.
In essence, all you’re doing here is swapping water vapor for liquid water.
Answer:
sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid is the reactants
The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)
