Sure! Let's break down the chemical reaction step-by-step and label each reactant and product.
1. Identify the reactants and products in the chemical equation:
Given reaction:
[tex]\[ CH_4 \longrightarrow CO_2 + 2 H_2O \][/tex]
2. Label the reactants:
- The reactant is the substance that is present on the left side of the arrow. In this reaction, [tex]\( CH_4 \)[/tex] is the reactant.
3. Label the products:
- The products are the substances that are present on the right side of the arrow. In this reaction, [tex]\( CO_2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 2 H_2O \)[/tex] are the products.
So, the labels would be as follows:
- Reactant: [tex]\( CH_4 \)[/tex]
- Products: [tex]\( CO_2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 2 H_2O \)[/tex]
To summarize:
- Reactants:
- [tex]\( CH_4 \)[/tex]
- Products:
- [tex]\( CO_2 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 2 H_2O \)[/tex]
Thus, the final labeled components of the chemical reaction are:
- [tex]\( CH_4 \)[/tex] (reactant)
- [tex]\( CO_2 \)[/tex] (product)
- [tex]\( 2 H_2O \)[/tex] (product)
