can you write an equation for the combustion (explosion) of natural gas?

Answer 3

??? um no

Answer 4

could you write one for any hydrocarbon, like methane?

Answer 5

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

Answer 6

CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O this is methane

Answer 7

natural gas is simply a mix of hydrocarbons..

\(C_yH_x\) + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

Answer 8

when something burns, it's being oxidized by oxygen in the air (atmosphere), so without it there will be no combustion. Now re-read your question

Answer 9

so not enough oxygen?
