Giving balance equation state how you will convert methane to carbon dioxide?

Combustion. Methane is CH4 and it can undergo combustion with oxygen (O2) to form CO2 + H2O.CH4 + 2O2 ===> CO2 + 2H2O ... balanced equation


Hydrogens are combined with oxygen at the completion of what?

Hydrogen combines with oxygen at the completion of a combustion reaction to form water. The following is the balanced equation for the combustion of methane (CH4). CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O

What is the word and balanced chemical equation for combustion?

A chemical equation is defined as the short-hand representation of a true chemical reaction with the help of symbols and formula.the word and balanced chemical equation for combustion of methane is given as .methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energyCH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)


What is the word equation for methane burning in the air?

The reactants are methane CH4 and oxygen O2 and the products are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O


How many molecules of oxygen are needed for the incomplete combustion of one molecule of methane?

Oxygen is NOT a PRODUCT (it is not produced) from the complete combustion of methane, it is a REACTANT (it is used in the reaction). The answer is therefore a mass of zero.


What gas in the air reacts to sulphur when it burns?

Combustion products of methane would be water and CO2. Methane is CH4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane


Why does excess supply of oxygen lead to complete combustion?

Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon yields carbon dioxide & water; incomplete combustion yields carbon monoxide & water. By having excess oxygen you have enough oxygen to ensure complete combustion. For example the combustion of methane (CH4):complete combustion: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2Oincomplete combustion: CH4 + 1.5O2 --> CO + 2H2OAs you can see you need a 1/2 mole less of oxygen for the incomplete combustion of methane. So as long as you have twice the amount (in terms of moles) of oxygen as methane you will ensure complete combustion. So anything in excess of that will also ensure complete combustion.


What is the equation for the combustion of methane gas?

methane + oxygen ---> water + carbon dioxide. Don't put an equal sign ! ( = )


Methane oxygen carbon dioxide water?

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.
