The correct balanced chemical equation which occur when methane burn in oxygen gas is
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O +CO2 (answer D)
when methane is burned in presence of oxygen gas it produces carbon(IV) oxide and water and energy,that is 1 mole of CH4 reacted with 2 moles of O2 to form 2 moles of water and 1 mole of CO2 and enegy. This energy make the methane to be used as fuel.
Answer:
Rate of forward reaction will increase.
Explanation:
Effect of change in reaction condition on equilibrium is explained by Le Chatelier's principle. According to this principle,
If an equilibrium condition of a dynamic reversible reaction is disturbed by changing concentration, temperature, pressure, volume, etc, then reaction will move will in a direction which counteract the change.
In the given reaction,
A + B ⇌ C + D
If concentration of A is increase, then reaction will move in a direction which decreases the concentration of A to reestablish the equilibrium.
As concentration A decreases in forward direction, therefore, rate of forward reaction will increase.
