What you are given
- Equation: CH4 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
Formula: element-conservation null space
Synthesis
How do you calculate reaction balancer?
Exact integer coefficients by rational null-space. Unbalanceable input is flagged, never fudged. The relationship used is element-conservation null space.

The working
- Balanced equation:
CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O
CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O
