What is the balanced chemical reaction for the burning of methane?

Answer:

CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂(g) ---> CO₂(g)  + 2 H₂O(l)   is the balanced chemical reaction for the burning of methane.

Explanation:

CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂(g) ---> CO₂(g)  + 2 H₂O(l) 

Reactants                         Products

C -->1                             C --->1

O --->4                           O -->4

H --->4                           H -->4

The number of carbon atom,oxygen atom ,and hydrogen atom is equal from both sides of  this equation,CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂(g) ---> CO₂(g)  + 2 H₂O(l).
