Question

Which is a product in the following chemical reaction? CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

Answer 1

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

The products are water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2)

Answer 2

Answer : The product in the given chemical reaction are, carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ and water $(H_2O)$.

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

The give balanced chemical reaction is a balanced reaction because in this reaction all the atoms of individual elements are completely balanced.

In the chemical reaction, the species present on left side of the right arrow are the reactants and species present on right side of the right arrow are the products.

$CH_4$ and $O_2$ are the reactants.

$CO_2$ and $H_2O$ are the products.

Hence, the product in the given chemical reaction are, carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ and water $(H_2O)$.
