Oxidation
methane and butane methane and Ethane
Methane Ethane Propane Butane
this is not possible yet..scientists have discovered an enzyme that can convert ethane to methane..however, if u take indirect route ..then its possible..
Out of methane, ethane, propane, and butane, butane has the highest boiling point.
Ethyl bromide can be converted into methane through a Wurtz reaction, where it reacts with metallic sodium in dry ether to form sodium bromide and ethane. The resulting ethane can then be further reduced to form methane using a reducing agent such as zinc powder with concentrated hydrochloric acid. This reaction sequence involves serial substitution and reduction reactions.
Methane Or Ethane Or Butane Or Hexane
methane and ethane
Methane, ethane, propane, etc
Halogenation
Monohalogenation of methane, followed by Wurtz reaction.
It is presumed to be mainly methane and possibly ethane
Ethane and methane do not contain functional groups. They are simple hydrocarbons consisting of only carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together. Functional groups are specific arrangements of atoms in organic molecules that determine their chemical properties.
