A combustion reaction occurs between one molecule of methane (CHa) and two molecules of oxygen (O2).
How many atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen make up the products for this combustion reaction?
O A) 1 carbon, 1 hydrogen, and 1 oxygen
O B) 1 carbon, 1 hydrogen, and 2 oxygen
O C) 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 2 oxygen
OD) 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 4 oxygen

The total number of atoms make up the products :

D) 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 4 oxygen

Further explanation

Complete combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will produce CO₂ and H₂O compounds.

If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (especially alkanes)

For combustion of methane (CH₄) and two molecules of oxygen (O₂).

[tex]\tt CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O[/tex]

The number of atoms make up the products

CO₂ : 1 carbon, 2 oxygen

2H₂O : 4 hydrogen , 2 oxygen

The total number of atoms make up the products :

D) 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 4 oxygen

Combustion Reaction:

Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat.

Combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will produce CO₂ and H₂O compounds.

  • If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O
  • For combustion of methane (CH₄) and two molecules of oxygen (O₂).
  • The number of atoms make up the products:

CO₂ : 1 carbon, 2 oxygen

2H₂O : 4 hydrogen , 2 oxygen

Thus, the correct option is D.
