Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.
Chemical Reaction Information
Methane + Dioxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water
Reaction Type
Combustion
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. CH4 is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent.
- C-IV – 8 e– → CIV (oxidation)
- 4 O0 + 8 e– → 4 O-II (reduction)
Substances that react are called starting materials or reactants. The substances that form as a result are called reaction products.
