How many molecules of oxygen are needed for the incomplete combustion of one molecule of methane?

Oxygen is NOT a PRODUCT (it is not produced) from the complete combustion of methane, it is a REACTANT (it is used in the reaction). The answer is therefore a mass of zero.

Does hydrogen diffuse faster than methane?
Yes, hydrogen diffuses faster than methane. The hydrogen molecule, H2, is the smallest of all molecules and it is considerably smaller than the methane molecule, CH4. Smaller molecules move faster, and therefore diffuse faster, at any given temperature, than larger molecules.
Why do the waste gases contain CO2 and Ni you methane when burned?
CO2 and other gases are released due to combustion(complete or incomplete).
One centimeter cube of methane at STP will have how much molecules?
the answer is 8.45 molecules. Yay a 45th molecule. Weird huh.
What are not an organic molecule Methane Fructose Ethanol or Ammonia?
Ammonia is not organic. Others are organic molecules
How could methane burn to produce carbon monoxide?
methane could burn in an area with a low concentration of oxygen, this incomplete combustion would have the following "balanced" (or stoichiometric) equation; CH4 + 1 1/2 O2 -> CO + 2H2O the complete combustion (where excess oxygen is present) would be; CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O The key differnce between the two is that complete combustion produces water and carbon dioxide, incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide and water.
What is the symbol equation for incomplete combustion of methane?
Incomplete combustion of Methane is....2CH4 + 2O2 --> CO + C + 4H2O
What is the incomplete symbol equation for combustion of methane ch4?
Incomplete combustion of Methane is....2CH4 + 2O2 --> CO + C + 4H2O
Can incomplete combustion of methane produce aldehyde?
no
How many moles of H2O are produced by the complete combustion of methane?
The complete combustion of any hydrocarbon, including methane, produces one water molecule for each two atoms of hydrogen in the hydrocarbon. The formula of methane is CH4; therefore, the complete combustion of one mole of methane produces two moles of H2O.
What is the chemical equation for the complete and incomplete combustion of methane?
Burning of methane is:CH4 + 2 O2---------- → CO2 + 2 H2OCarbon monoxide is released after an incomplete combustion.
Does methane on combustion produces carbon black?
no it means it was an incomplete combustion causing pure Carbon (carbon monoxide or sut).
Balance this equation CH4 plus O2 equals CO2 plus H2O?
The combustion of methane can be balanced in the following manner. One molecule of CH4 plus two molecules of O2 produces one molecule of CO2 plus one molecule of H2O.
Incomplete combustion of methane?
... will also result in formation of carbon monoxide, formaldehyde (methanal), methanol, carbon black.
Why does excess supply of oxygen lead to complete combustion?
Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon yields carbon dioxide & water; incomplete combustion yields carbon monoxide & water. By having excess oxygen you have enough oxygen to ensure complete combustion. For example the combustion of methane (CH4):complete combustion: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2Oincomplete combustion: CH4 + 1.5O2 --> CO + 2H2OAs you can see you need a 1/2 mole less of oxygen for the incomplete combustion of methane. So as long as you have twice the amount (in terms of moles) of oxygen as methane you will ensure complete combustion. So anything in excess of that will also ensure complete combustion.
How are explosions different from other chemical reactions?
Yes, combustion is a chemical reaction, because it is a reaction between a molecule and oxygen (O2) to produce a new molecule plus CO2 (if it's a complete combustion) or CO (if it is an incomplete combustion). Combustion is also an exothermic reaction, which means that heat is released.
How many molecule's of carbon there are in 2.50 molecule's of methane?
Moles of methane. No half molecules, I think! 2.50 moles methane (1 mole C/1 mole CH4)(6.022 X 1023/1 mole C) = 1.51 X 1024 molecules of carbon --------------------------------------------
Does hydrogen diffuse faster than methane?
Yes, hydrogen diffuses faster than methane. The hydrogen molecule, H2, is the smallest of all molecules and it is considerably smaller than the methane molecule, CH4. Smaller molecules move faster, and therefore diffuse faster, at any given temperature, than larger molecules.
