Respuesta :

Answer: The chemical equations are written below.

Explanation:

For a: Methane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water

The chemical equation for the combustion of methane follows:

[tex]CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)[/tex]

  • For b: Butane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

This is also an example of combustion reaction.

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

[tex]2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)[/tex]

  • For c: An aqueous solution of sulfuric acid reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide to produce potassium sulfate and water.

When an acid reacts with a base, it leads to the formation of salt and water. This reaction is known as neutralization reaction

The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid follows:

[tex]H_2SO_4+2KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O[/tex]

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.
