(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the combustion of CH₄(g) with O₂(g) to form CO₂(g) and H₂O(g).

(b) Consider the reaction of three molecules of CH₄(g) with four molecules of O₂(g). The following boxes represent before and after pictures of the tiny, sealed container in which this reaction takes place. Draw pictures to show the contents of this container before and after the reaction happens:

(c) Which is the limiting reactant, CH₄(g) or O₂(g)?
