Accepted Answer
Question:

10 Methane (CH4) + 20 Iodine (I)

Solution: This reaction is invalid as written.
Chemical Equation: No valid chemical equation can be formed.
Explanation: Methane (CH₄) and Iodine (I₂) don't react directly under normal conditions. Iodine needs to be in a more reactive form (e.g., as I⁺ or with a catalyst) to react with methane. The equation 10CH₄ + 20I is not chemically balanced or feasible. Think of it like trying to mix oil and water 💧 and 🧪 - they don't naturally combine. To have a reaction you would need a specific reaction condition and a catalyst. 💥
