Combustion of hydrocarbons such as methane (CH4) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of gaseous methane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.

Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of gaseous methane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
Suppose 0.430kg of methane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1atm and a temperature of 19.0°C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
