Is carbon dioxide the only gas causing global warming?
No, but carbon dioxide is the main gas. Methane is the next most important gas causing global warming. Methane is more than twenty times more powerful than carbon dioxide, but not so plentiful. Methane comes from cattle, as well as from melting lakes and tundra.
Why is it easy to boil methane?
methane has rediculously low IMF's or Inter-Molecular Forces. basicly, the pull between the molecules are so weak, that it takes reletivly little energy to transform it from one state to another. (i wanna see methane plasma xD)
Is methane destroying the ozone layer?
Methane has no effect on the ozone layer. Ozone cannot get to the carbon atom, so they coexist happily. However, oxygen in the stratosphere does experience a chemical reaction with methane. Emissions of methane are transformed into water, according to the formula CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2(H2O). Ozone is O3, so it is unaffected.
How many different kinds of atoms are there in a molecule of methane?
The chemical formula for methane is CH4. Then there are four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom in each molecule, making two distinct types of atoms.
Is methane more flammable as oxygen?
Yes, methane is more flammable than oxygen. Methane is a highly flammable gas that can ignite easily in the presence of a spark or flame. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it can support combustion, making the combination of methane and oxygen highly explosive.
What phase of matter is a methane?
Methane is a gas.CH4 is a small molecule that is a gas.
Why is the burning of methane is an exothermic reaction?
When methane is burned, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. This process releases energy in the form of heat and light, making it an exothermic reaction. The formation of the stronger bonds in carbon dioxide and water releases more energy than is required to break the bonds in methane and oxygen.
What is burning methane?
Burning methane is a chemical reaction where methane gas (CH4) is combined with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light, making it a common method for generating heat or electricity. However, burning methane also produces carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to climate change.
Methane hydrates form within the ocean and are not expensive to obtain?
Methane hydrates are trapped in ice crystals under the seafloor and deep within permafrost on land, making extraction challenging and expensive. The process involves drilling, heating, and depressurizing to release methane, which also poses environmental risks such as methane leakage and seabed instability. Due to the complex and costly extraction methods, methane hydrates are not currently a viable commercial energy source.
Can methane be a gas at -161.5c as it's boiling point?
Indeed it can. At the boiling point liquid methane is in equilbrium with gaseous methane, so both exist simultaneously.
Why do you go through so many radiators?
Most likely they are being installed incorrectly or something else is causing the problem
Is it possible for methane rain to occur on the moon titan?
We believe so. The photos from the Huygens probe that landed on Titan appeared to show oceans of liquid methane, so the concept of "methane rain" isn't too far-fetched.
