Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{\mathrm{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]\sf CH_4+ O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O[/tex]

Balancing the Hydrogen atoms on the right side,

[tex]\sf CH_4+ O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 +2 H_2O[/tex]

Balancing the Oxygen atoms on the left side,

[tex]\sf CH_4+ 2O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 +2 H_2O[/tex]

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
