Answer:

the answer is A. 4 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms

boffeemadrid

The number of atoms of each molecule of the reactants is required.

The correct option is c. 1 carbon atom, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms

The given reaction is

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

For carbon atoms

The only carbon atom is present in [tex]CH_4[/tex]

So, 1 carbon atom

The hydrogen atoms are also present is [tex]CH_4[/tex]

There are 4 hydrogen atoms.

The oxygen atoms present is [tex]2\times 2=4[/tex]

So, the number of atoms present in the reactants are c. 1 carbon atom, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms
