PLS HELP FAST You have a natural-gas (methane, CH4) stove. When you ignite a natural-gas stove, the methane reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this reaction, and be sure to show your work. (6 points)

Methane (CH4) ( C H 4 ) burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. The balanced equation is: CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O C H 4 + 2 O 2 → C O 2 + 2 H 2 O .

Explanation:

in a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products. no new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. in a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.
