Balancing Chemical Equations

Question 2 • AA-F26 Physical Science

CH4 + 2O2 → 2 + 2H2O

Answer
A
C + O
B
CH
C
CO

Explanation

Combustion of methane produces carbon dioxide and water. The missing product must therefore be CO₂; with one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, the balanced equation is CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O. Choice C is CO, but it is missing the subscript ₂, so none of the choices as written gives the correct product.
