Methane, CH4, can be used as fuel in an automobile to reduce pollution. What is the coefficient of oxygen in the balanced equation for the reaction?

__CH4(g) + __O2(g) → __CO2(g) + __H2O(g)

Asked by maroca1203

Answer (2)

The coefficient of oxygen in the reaction is 2. The others would be 1, 1, and 2, respectively.

In the balanced equation for the reaction of methane with oxygen, the coefficient of oxygen is 2. This ensures that all atoms are balanced on both sides of the equation. The final balanced equation is CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O.
