Question

Complete combustion of methane

When methane (CH4CH4) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is

CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)

This type of reaction is referred to as a complete combustion reaction.
