Methane is major component of natural gas, which is used as fucl in homes_ Write balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air: Use the smallest possible integer coefficients.
Dominique Jan T.
Natural gas consists primarily of methane, $\mathrm{CH}_{4}(g)$ . (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of methane to produce $\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)$ as the only carbon-containing product. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the incomplete combustion of methane to produce CO(g) as the only carbon-containing product. (c) At $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 1.0 atm pressure, what is the minimum quantity of dry air needed to combust 1.0 $\mathrm{L}$ of $\mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{g})$ completely to $\mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) ?$
Methane (CH4) is burned with atmospheric air. The analysis of the products on a dry basis is as follows: CO2 = 10%, O2 = 2.37%, CO = 0.53%, N2 = 87.10%. (i) Determine the combustion equation; (ii) Calculate the air-fuel ratio; (iii) Percent theoretical air.
