The following equation shows the correct molecules formed in the reaction, but the products are incorrect. ch4 +2o2 → h2o + co2 how would you correct the products? explain your reasoning

The products can be corrected by balancing the equation.

BALANCING EQUATIONS:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the same amount of each matter must be present in the reactants and products side of an equation. Balancing an equation means ensuring that the number of atoms of each element are the same on both sides of the equation.

The chemical reaction is given as follows:

CH4 +2O2 → H2O + CO2

Based on observation of the above equation, there are 4 moles of oxygen and hydrogen on the reactant side but 3 moles and 2 moles respectively on the product side, meaning it is not balanced.

To balance the equation, we have to make the oxygen and hydrogen atoms equal by using coefficient. We therefore, place coefficient 2 behind the water molecule as follows:

CH4 +2O2 → 2H2O + CO2

The equation is now balanced, hence, the incorrect products has been corrected.
