Natural gas + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water
eg: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
Where complete combustion of methane (CH4, a natural gas) is achieved.
After stating what precisely is meant by 'natural gas' (could be methane o.s.e.) then, in words, it could be something like:
"One mole of the natural gas 'methane' reacts with two moles of oxygen to form one mole of carbon dioxide and two moles of water"
Well, a simple chemical notation is easier and less ambiguous!

What is the equation for combustion efficiency of natural gas burning furnaces?
yupe,its efficiency=Q/heating value of fuel
Can incomplete combustion of natural gas produce aldehyde?
Yes, incomplete combustion of natural gas can produce aldehyde. It is also stated that incomplete combustion of natural gas also produces carbon monoxide.
Isobutane (C4H10) is one of the components of natural gas. Which equation shows the balanced combustion reaction for isobutane?
2C4H10 + 13O2 ==> 8CO2 + 10H2O complete combustion of isobutane
What happens when natural gas undergoes combustion?
Natural gas is mainly composed of methane. When methane undergoes combustion, it produces water and CO2 . CH4 + 2O2 -------> CO2 + 2H2O
Does natural gas explode by combustion or decomposition?
decomposition, of course

How much carbon monoxide is emitted from a natural gas stove burner?
If the burner is functioning stoichiometrically, you shouldn't get any. The equation for stoichiometric combustion of Natural Gas (Methane) is; 2O2 + CH4 > CO2 + 2H2O
What happens when natural gas burns does it turn back to gas?
Natural gas IS a gas, so there is no way it can turn "back" into a gas. Traditional combustion reactions result in CO2 and H2O, and the combustion of natural gas would be no different.
Isobutane (C4H10) is one of the components of natural gas. Which equation shows the balanced combustion reaction for isobutane?
2C4H10 + 13O2 ==> 8CO2 + 10H2O complete combustion of isobutane
What do you get from natural gases?
By burning natural gas in a combustion engine, you get mechanical energy.
What is the chemical equation that shows the need for O2 and the production of CO2?
This reaction is called combustion, and can take place using a variety of compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. The following equation represents the combustion of methane (CH4), also known as natural gas. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
What happens when natural gas undergoes combustion?
Natural gas is mainly composed of methane. When methane undergoes combustion, it produces water and CO2 . CH4 + 2O2 -------> CO2 + 2H2O
Is natural gas burning in a furnace a chemical change?
Yes, combustion of natural gas is a form of chemical change.
Does natural gas explode by combustion or decomposition?
decomposition, of course
What temperature ignites natural gas?
It's not really a question of temprature, it's a question about how high is the activation energy of the combustion of natural gas. this question is however invalid as natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons and they all have different activation energys for combustion. Do you mean what temprature would cause natural gas to spontaniously ignite?
What is difference between hydrogen combustion and compressed natural gas combustion?
All types of combustions are oxidation reactions.
