1. The balanced reaction for the combustion of methane;

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

Consider mixing 1.50 mol of methane with 1.80 mol of oxygen. Assume there is no carbon dioxide or water present in the initial mixture.

2. Which of the following ICE Tables (I or II) make sense assuming the initial amounts above and that the reaction goes to completion.
