CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
Carbon monoxide and methane
Methane + Oxygen > Carbon (soot) + Water
First a balanced chemical equation is needed.CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2OThere is a 1:1 ratio of moles between methane and carbon dioxide so the amount of moles of methane used is the exact number of moles of carbon dioxide yielded.To determine the number of moles of methane we take the amount used and divide by methane's mass which is about 16.04 g/mol.100g/ 16.04g/mol=6.234moles of methane.6.234 moles of methane are used and 6.234 moles of carbon dioxide are produced.
combustible?
Cody bogg did and he said that it is possible!
The reactants when methane burns in oxygen are methane and oxygen. The products are CO2, water and heat about 890 Kj/mole is given out. The equation is : CH4(g) + 2O2 _______> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat (-890 Kj/mole) When one mole of methane gas reacts with (burns in) 2 moles of oxygen gas we get 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water and 890 Kilo joules of heat is released. This reaction is exothermic as heat is released and a combustion reaction as methane gas is burned in free supply oxygen not limited supply otherwise carbon monoxide (CO) will be formed. Hope that helped you out. :-D
it burns and seperates actually it burns and oxygen burns it , methane is the gas that we mostly use in southern countries for cooking
Methane, CH4, burns in oxygen gas to form water and carbon dioxide. What is the correct balanced chemical equation for this reaction?
When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.
In carbondioxide: CH4 + 3 O2 ==> CO2 + 2 H2O
methane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water 2 Methane molecules plus 4 Oxygen molecules gives 2 molecules of Carbon dioxide plus 4 Water molecules.
The balanced chemical equation for methane (CH4) burning in air (O2) is: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
