Answer : The excess reactant in the combustion of methane in opem atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.

Solution : Given,

Mass of methane = 23 g

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mole

The Net balanced chemical reaction for combustion of methane is,

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

First we have to calculate the moles of methane.

\text{ Moles of methane}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of methane}}{\text{ Molar mass of methane}} = \frac{23g}{16.04g/mole} = 1.434 moles

From the above chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of methane react with the 2 moles of oxygen

and 1.434 moles of methane react to give \frac{2moles\times 1.434moles}{1moles} moles of oxygen

The Moles of oxygen = 2.868 moles

Now we conclude that the moles of oxygen are more than the moles of methane.

Therefore, the excess reactant in the combustion of methane in open atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.

Molecules can be either positively or negatively charged depending upon their elemental arrangement
Nuetrik [128]
They are positively or negatively charged based on their electrical configuration of electrons*
For example an electronic configuration of 2,8,3 would have a negative charge if +3 since it needs to lose 3 electrons to gain the electrical configuration of a noble gas
2,8,1 would have a charge of +1 for the same reason
2,8,6 would be -2 since it is easier to gain 2 electrons that lose 6 electrons

Hope this helped :))
