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.

Reactants are what the products are made out of. The products are the end result.


How does the mass of the product in a chemical reaction compare with the mass of the reactants?

The mass of the products should equal the mass of the reactants.


How do the properties of reactants compare to the properties of products?

Since I do not know which reactants and which products you refer to, I can only tell you that the properties will be different.

they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.

In a chemical reaction how does the total mass of the reactants compare to the total mass of the products?

The mass of the reactants compare to the mass of the products in that they are equal. The law to conservation of mass states that mass cannot be createdor destroyed. It can only be altered which would be a case in a chemical reaction.

How does the mass of the products in a chemical equation compare to the mass of a reaction?

In a closed system, the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants.


In a combustion reaction between butane and oxygen which contains more energy reactants catalyst products or products and reactants contain the same amount of energy?

Every combustion process is exothermic (the release of heat and light) so the products have low energy as compare to reactants which are in this case Butane and oxygen.


If you were to compare the mass of the products and reactants in a reaction what would you find?

They would be equal .Because of the conservation of matter no mass can be destroyed or created


In a chemical reaction how do the chemical properties of the products compare with the properties of the reactants?

the product's properties usually and may differ from the properties of the reactants. Example-salt-sodium, a soft explosive metal and chlorine, a toxic gas. make salt.
