What is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction CH4 plus 2O2 equals CO2 plus H2O?

The oxidizing agent in the reaction CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O is oxygen (O2). Oxygen is the substance that is gaining electrons and causing the methane (CH4) to oxidize.


How many double bonds in 2O2?

The molecular formula 2O2 represents two molecules of dioxygen (O2). Each O2 molecule contains one double bond between the two oxygen atoms. Therefore, in 2O2, there is a total of two double bonds (one from each O2 molecule).


Which is the oxidizing agent in the reaction CH4 2O2- CO2 H20?

Oxygen (O2) is the oxidizing agent in this reaction, as it gains electrons during the reaction to form water (H2O).


What is the product in CH4 2O2 CO2 2H2O?

The product in the reaction of CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O is carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).


What happens with FADH2 donates its electrons to the electron transport chain and what are the final products?

Complex II is reduced and FADH2 is oxidized becoming FAD, the electrons continue down the electron transport chain providing the power to pump protons into the intermembrane space ( not as many protons as NADH because of the short delivery of FADH2 electrons to complex II ) where they fall down their concentration gradient through the synthase. Our electrons exit complex IV into the matrix where oxygen picks up two electrons and two protons forming water. 2H + 1/2O2 --> H2O.


What is the balanced equation for methane burns oxygen to form water and carbon diooxide?

Unbalanced CH4 + O2 = H2O + CO2 Balanced CH4 + 2O2 = 2H20 + CO2


What does 2O 2 represent?

2O2 in a chemical reaction equation means that there are two moles of O2, or oxygen, molecules.


What is combustion of hydrogen?

H2 (g) + 1/2O2 -> H2O


Molecular equation for burning methane gas?

The molecular equation for the combustion of methane gas (CH4) in the presence of oxygen (O2) is: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O.


What is the purpose of the 2e- in the balanced equation above?

No equation above, but this is an example.2H+ + 2e- + 1/2O2 --> H2OThis is the equation, of the electron transport chain, that shows the final electron acceptor, oxygen, taking two protons and two electrons and forming water.This,2e-represents the two electrons and the negative charge they carry.


What equation to is produced when methane burns?

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
