No, the equation 2CH4 + 4O2 → 2CO2 + 4H2O is not balanced as written. The correct balanced equation should be 2CH4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 4H2O, which shows that two molecules of methane (CH4) react with three molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce two molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and four molecules of water (H2O). Balancing chemical equations ensures that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
