Answer:
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
Explanation:
Methane is an hydrocarbon. Whenever hydrocarbon undergoes a reactio with oxygen, the products formed are carbon(iv) oxide and water.
The equation of the reaction is given as;
CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
Upon balancing the equation, we have;
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
Its durability, malleability, etc the basic properties of metals
Answer is: the oxidation number of oxygen must decrease.
Oxidizing agent is element (substance) that gain electrons in chemical reaction.
For example, balanced chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.
Oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to oxidation number -2 (reduction) and carbon change from 0 to +4 (oxidation)
Answer:
the same as the products.
Explanation:
Law of conservation of mass states that the mass of the reactant is always the same as the products since they are not lost nor gained.
