Solution

Balanced equation
A balanced equation involves an equal number of atoms for each element on reactant and product side.
Balanced equation for methane with oxygen
When Methane $({CH}_{4})$ reacts with Oxygen $(O_{2})$ , the formation of Carbon dioxide $({CO}_{2})$ and Water $(H_{2} O)$ takes place.
The balanced chemical reaction is as follows:-
${CH}_{4} (g) + 2 O_{2} (g) \to {CO}_{2} (g) + 2 H_{2} O (g)$
