Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.

Chemical Reaction Information

Methane + Dioxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water

Reaction Type

Combustion

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. CH4 is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent.

• C-IV – 8 e– → CIV (oxidation)
• 4 O0 + 8 e– → 4 O-II (reduction)

Substances that react are called starting materials or reactants. The substances that form as a result are called reaction products.

Reactants:

CH4 – Methane, Carbane

• Other names: M.
• Appearance: Colorless gas; Colourless odourless compressed or liquefied gas.

O2

• Names: Dioxygen, Oxygen.
• Appearance: Odourless compressed gas.

Products:

CO2

• Names: Carbon dioxide.
• Appearance: Colorless gas; Odourless colourless compressed liquefied gas.

H2O – Water, oxidane

• Other names: Water (H2O), Hydrogen oxide, Hydrogen hydroxide.
• Appearance: White crystalline solid, almost colorless liquid with a hint of blue, colorless gas.
