Step-by-step explanation:
The balanced equation is CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g) In the burning reaction, methane (CH₄) reacts with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O): CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O This reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass because nothing was created or destroyed just rearranged
