Methane and ethane can be separated through a process called fractional distillation, which takes advantage of their different boiling points. The mixture is heated in a column, and as the temperature increases, the components with lower boiling points vaporize first and are collected at different levels of the column. This allows for the separation of methane and ethane based on their boiling points.

Is ethane and methane examples of functional group?

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.


Will ethane cause global warming?

No, it won't cause global warming, but it adds to it in a small way. Ethane (C2H6) is a gas derived from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), like methane. When burnt it also releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas. Ethane itself is also a greenhouse gas, though not as potent as methane. There are low levels of ethane in the atmosphere, as the sun's photochemical action turns some methane into ethane.
