The chemical equation \( \text{CH}_4 + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2 \) represents the combustion of methane. In this reaction, methane (CH4) reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which is characteristic of a combustion process.
What reaction would the chemical equation CH4+2O2→2H2O+CO2represent?
