Natural gas consists primarily of methane,CH4(g).(a)Write a balanced chemical equation

Chapter 22, Problem 18.72

(choose chapter or problem)

Natural gas consists primarily of methane, \(CH_4(g)\).

(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of methane to produce \(CO_2(g)\) 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 \(25 ^{\circ}C\) and 1.0 atm pressure, what is the minimum quantity of dry air needed to combust 1.0 L of \(CH_4(g)\) completely to \(CO_2(g)\)?
