AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Methane**: Methane (CH₄) is a simple hydrocarbon and is the primary component of natural gas. It is widely used as a fuel due to its properties. 2. **Combustion Reaction**: When methane is burned (combusted) in the presence of oxygen (O₂), it undergoes a chemical reaction. The balanced equation for this reaction is: \[ CH₄ + 2O₂ \rightarrow CO₂ + 2H₂O + \text{Heat} \] ...
