What happens when excess ch4 reacts with o2 What is their mass ratio What does it matter?
Water and carbon dioxide generation
CH4+2O2=CO2+2H2O
Cooling after full reaction of 1:4 mass of ch4 with o2 Why a single pure substance is produced and is gaseous. Cooling after full reaction of ch4 with o2 at 1:4 mass Why a single pure substance is produced and is gaseous.
The full reaction produces carbon dioxide gas and water vapor, which cools into a liquid, so the product is simply carbon dioxide.
