The reactants when methane burns in oxygen are methane and oxygen.
The products are CO2, water and heat about 890 Kj/mole is given out.
The equation is : CH4(g) + 2O2 _______> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat (-890 Kj/mole)
When one mole of methane gas reacts with (burns in) 2 moles of oxygen gas we get 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water and 890 Kilo joules of heat is released.
This reaction is exothermic as heat is released and a combustion reaction as methane gas is burned in free supply oxygen not limited supply otherwise carbon monoxide (CO) will be formed.
Hope that helped you out. :-D

Methane and oxygen
methane and oxygen
When methane burns completely no carbon monoxide (CO) would be produced.In complete combustion the balanced equation for the burning of methane would be:CH4 (methane) + 2O2 (oxygen) -> CO2(carbon dioxide) + 2H2O (water)i.e. the total number of each atom in the reactants would be identical to the total number of each atom in the products.
When paper burns in a fire, the reactants are mostly carbon (the main substance in the paper) and oxygen(from the air).
The reactants are CH4, O2 and the products are CO2, H2O. CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
Carbon dioxide is the other product.
The reactants are methane CH4 and oxygen O2 and the products are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O
Methane, CH4, burns in oxygen gas to form water and carbon dioxide. What is the correct balanced chemical equation for this reaction?
it burns and seperates actually it burns and oxygen burns it , methane is the gas that we mostly use in southern countries for cooking
The reactants are methane an oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
methane and oxygen react together (combustion) to give carbon dioxide + water. The reactants are methane and oxygen which react to form the products water and carbon dioxide.
When methane burns completely no carbon monoxide (CO) would be produced.In complete combustion the balanced equation for the burning of methane would be:CH4 (methane) + 2O2 (oxygen) -> CO2(carbon dioxide) + 2H2O (water)i.e. the total number of each atom in the reactants would be identical to the total number of each atom in the products.
When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.
Combustion products of methane would be water and CO2. Methane is CH4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane
Carbon monoxide and methane
When paper burns in a fire, the reactants are mostly carbon (the main substance in the paper) and oxygen(from the air).
Yes, the products of CH4 + O2 (Methane + Insufficient Oxygen) are water and carbon monoxide.
Yes, the products of CH4 + O2 (Methane + Insufficient Oxygen) are water and carbon monoxide.
Yes; the reaction is: CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O
