Answer

(i) Methane:

CH4 methane+2O2[excess]⟶CO2+2H2O\underset{\text{ methane} }{\text{CH}4} + 2\text{O}2\text{[excess]} \longrightarrow \text{CO}2 + 2\text{H}2\text{O}

(ii) Ethane

2C2H6 ethane+7O2[excess]⟶4CO2+6H2O\underset{\text{ ethane} }{2\text{C}2\text{H}6} + 7\text{O}2\text{[excess]} \longrightarrow 4\text{CO}2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}
