Is it possible that CO2 changes into CH4 - and under what conditions is this possible?

No. CO2 contains the elements carbon and oxygen, whereas CH4 contains carbon and hydrogen, and elements are immutible unless they are radioactive and undergo radioactive decay. If you are thinking of something like a chemical reaction in which CO2 is a reactant and CH4 is a product, that might be possible. But if that is the case, the atoms of the reactants are rearranged to form the products, but one element would not actually change into another element. For example, in the following chemical reaction, CO2 reacts with H2O to form the products CH4 and O2. Note that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on each side of the equation, which means that the atoms of each element were rearranged, but the elements did not change identity.
CO2 + 2H2O --> CH4 + 2O2

Why the temperature of NaCl and CH4 are different at room temperature?
All materials have the same temperature in identical conditions.
How many moles of CH4 per cubic meter?
That depends on the conditions the CH4 is subjected to. At STP, CH4 would be a gas with 22.4 liters/mole (0.0224 m3/mole) or 44.6 moles/m3. If you have it at cryogenic temperatures and high pressures like the atmosphere of Jupiter, the density will be different.
Which gases are very explosive?
Of the elemental gases and under normal conditions, hydrogen is explosive in the presence of air or oxygen. Under normal conditions there are a large number of inorganic and organic compounds that are explosive gases. Methane, CH4, is explosive in the same way hydrogen is, and so it ethane, propane, butane, .... Gases that are explosive in and of themselves are the various compounds of Nitrogen: NO NO2 N2O2
Why is CH4 insoluble?
CH4 is not polar.So it is in soluble in polar compounds
What does the element ch4 contain?
Ch4 is not an element, it's the compound Methane
What are two possible ways to show the structure of CH4?
Some possible way to show the structure of CH4 are its electron dot diagram or structural formula. CH4 or methane's molecular formula is given as CH4. The structural formula is a graphical representation of a chemical compound.
Is CCl4 to CH4 possible according to Dalton's theory?
No

How many moles of CH4 are in 200 grams of CH4?
200 g CH4 x 1 mole CH4/16 g = 12.5 moles CH4
What is the chemical formule for methane gas?
Methane is CH4
Why is CH4 polar?
the CH4 poler
Is ch4 molecule polar?
No. CH4 is nonpolar.
Is ch4 a Atom or Molecule?
ch4 is an atom.
What is the chemical formula for methane molecule?
Molecular formula: CH4 Structural formula: . H H C H . H CH4 (1 carbon and 4 hydrogen) it is NOT ch4 it is CH4; 4 being a subscript indicating 4 hydrogen atoms bonded into a single carbon atom
How do you balance the equation for CH4 O2 yield CO2 H2O?
Assuming complete combustion: CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2.
