Methane plus oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.
methane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water 2 Methane molecules plus 4 Oxygen molecules gives 2 molecules of Carbon dioxide plus 4 Water molecules.
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.
The reactants are methane CH4 and oxygen O2 and the products are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O
Ch4+ 2o2 ---> 2h2o + co2
CH4
Burning of methane is:CH4 + 2 O2---------- → CO2 + 2 H2OCarbon monoxide is released after an incomplete combustion.
Methane + Oxygen > Carbon (soot) + Water
Natural gas is chemically known as methane, or CH4. The reaction of burning it produces the following chemical equation: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O.
The word equation for a candle burning in the air is: Wax + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light + Heat.
If you mean is burning methane comparatively better than releasing it into the atmosphere, then yes it is. Methane is a greenhouse gas, twenty-one times more powerful than carbon dioxide. If methane is released into the atmosphere it works as a greenhouse gas. If it is burnt, it released carbon dioxide instead. Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas, but it is not as powerful as methane. So burning methane is good for the environment.
C + o2 -----------> co2
c + o2 -----------> co2
