Question

Name the compounds formed when methane burns in sufficient air. Give a balanced equation.

Answer 1

When methane burns in sufficient air, then carbon dioxide and water vapours are formed.

\[\ce{\underset{(Methane)}{CH4} + \underset{(From air)}{2O2} -> \underset{(Carbon dioxide)}{CO2} + 2H2O + \underset{(Water vapour)}{Heat}}\]
