Question

The balanced equation given below means: CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2H2O The balanced equation given below means: CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2H2O One molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water. One gram of methane reacts with two grams of oxygen to produce one gram of carbon dioxide and two grams of water. One mole of methane reacts with two moles of oxygen to produce one mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water. One mole of methane reacts with two moles of oxygen to produce one mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water, one gram of methane reacts with two grams of oxygen to produce one gram of carbon dioxide and two grams of water and one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water. One mole of methane reacts with two moles of oxygen to produce one mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water and one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water.

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is,

One molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water.

One mole of methane reacts with two moles of oxygen to produce one mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water.

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

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

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The given chemical reaction is a balanced reaction.

By the stoichiometry we can say that,

One molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water.

or,

One mole of methane reacts with two moles of oxygen to produce one mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

One molecule of methane reacts with 2 molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water.

It is also true if we replace the word molecule by mole.
