Write the chemical equation for the following :
Methane on burning combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. What is the need of balancing the equation ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`CH_(4)+2O_(2)toCO_(2)+2H_(2)O`
The need of balancing the equation is that an equation should be written as per the law of conservation of mass. It states that the number of atoms of each element before and after the reaction should remain same.
