Question

methane burn with presence of oxygen reaction

Answer 1

Methane, CH4, burns in the presence of oxygen to form water vapor and carbon dioxide. ... For each molecule of methane burned, carbon-hydrogen single bond(s) are broken. Also, because molecule(s) of oxygenare utilized in the balanced equation,oxygen-oxygen double bond(s) are broken.

Answer 2

Methane burn in the presence of oxygen and forms carbon dioxide and water vapors.

• Methane is a hydrocarbon with four hydrogen atoms attached to one carbon.
• The molecular formula of methane is CH₄.
• Due to enough supply of oxygen, the combustion of methane completes.
• The balanced reaction for the complete combustion of methane is

        CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

• In incomplete combustion of methane, carbon monoxide(CO) is formed in place of carbon dioxide.
