Natural gas is mostly methane (CH). When it is burned, it reacts with oxygen in the air in a combustion reaction. a. Write and balance the equation for the combustion of natural gas: b. In MN, natural gas is used for generating electricity, heating homes, and cooking. 10% of electricity generated in MN uses natural gas. It is also the main fuel used for heat and cooking. On average, each person in MN uses 1974 kg of natural gas per year for heat, cooking, and electricity. (Assume a similar value for people in NY) Stoichiometry Calculations Natural Gas (CH): Grams CO, Pounds CO₂ (1 lb = 454 g) Natural gas is mostly methane (CH).
