    First, state the balanced equation that represents the combustion:

    CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

    Second, state the molar ratios: 1 mol CH4 : 1 mol CO2.

    Third, given that at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of an ideal gas is proportinal to the number of moles, you can state the volumetric proportion:

    1 Liter of CH4 : 1 Liter of CO2.

    Fourth, use the volumetric proportion:

    2.0 Liter CH4 * 1 Liter CO2 / 1 Liter CH4 = 2.0 Liter CO2.

    Answer: 2.0 Liter CO2.
