Question

Balance the following chemical equation. Enter your coefficients in the order that they would appear for the chemical reaction. ___CH4+ ___O2 → ___CO2 + ___H2O

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation is:

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

To balance it is necessary to make sure that the quantity of reagents is equal to the quantity of products.

For example, in this equation we have:

- 1 mole of C on the reagents side and 1 mole of C on the products side.
