Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 293 People


When methane is burnt in oxygen to produce Co2 and H20 , the oxidation no.of carbon changes by.....?

Answered by admin @



The oxidation number carbon will be changed from -4 to +4.
When methane is burnt in the presence of oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are produced. The equation for this reaction is given below.
CH4  +   2O2 ⇒ CO2  + 2H2O  
Being exothermic reaction, energy also produced by this reaction.
Here, carbon oxidation number changed from -4 to +4.

Moreover, Water molecules produced usually in the form of water vapors or steam.

Hope this will help you.
