  • Q #1: Which of the following answers shows CH4 +2O2=CO2 +H2O as balanced?

    A. CH4 + 2O2 = 2CO2 + 2H2O

    B. 2CH4 + 4O2 = 2CO2 + H2O

    C. 2CH4 + O2 = 2CO2 + H2O

    D. CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

    Answer Explanation

    For the formula CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O to be balanced there must be an equal number of molecules on both the reactant and product sides. In this case, for the formula to be balanced, a coefficient of a 2 needs to be placed in front of the O2 and the H2O molecules. This would make both the reactant and product sides have one carbon, four hydrogens, and four oxygens

  • Q #2: Where is the scapula in relation to the olecranon?
