CH4[g] + 2 O2[g] -> CO2[g] + 2 H2O[g] + energy .

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer: The chemical equation for burning of methane is given below.

Explanation:

Natural gas is a fuel which is a mixture of alkanes. Alkanes that are present in natural gas are methane, ethane, propane, butane, and pentane.

Main component of natural gas is methane.

When methane gas is burnt in air, it leads to the formation of carbon dioxide gas and water. This reaction is known as combustion reaction.

The chemical equation for the burning of methane gas follows:

$CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas and 2 moles of water.

Hence, the chemical equation for burning of methane is given above.
