How to equally balance ch4 + o2 → h2o + co2 ( show work)

Balanced chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂  →  2H₂O + CO₂

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ + O₂  →  H₂O + CO₂

Balanced chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂  →  2H₂O + CO₂

Step one:

CH₄ + O₂  →  H₂O + CO₂

C  = 1                          C = 1

H  =  4                        H = 2

O  = 2                         O = 3

Step 2:

CH₄ + 2O₂  →  H₂O + CO₂

C  = 1                          C = 1

H  =  4                        H = 2

O  = 4                         O = 3

Step 3:

CH₄ + 2O₂  →  2H₂O + CO₂

C  = 1                          C = 1

H  =  4                        H = 4

O  = 4                         O = 4

Explanation:

Balancing the Hydrogen atoms on the right side,

Balancing the Oxygen atoms on the left side,

answersilicon (si); oxygen (o);

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.
