The main greenhouse gas that comes from rotting garbage is methane (about 87% by volume). But, after time, methane gas is oxidized to form carbon dioxide and water. Methane gas is a major contributer to to global warming and the Kyoto protocol seeks to regulate its production. Check out this website for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane

What are the harmful effects of decomposition?
Methane gas is released, as well as carbon dioxide, during decomposition.
What is electrolytic decomposition reaction?
a chemical decomposition reaction produced by passing an electric current through a solution containing ions is known as electrolytic decomposition reaction
What is the equation for N2O?
Heating ammonium nitrate to 250 degrees C produces N2O by the process NH4NO3 → N2O + 2H2O. The compound nitrous oxide contains 2 atoms of nitrogen and 1 of oxygen. It can be produced by bacterial action on fertilizers. It is produced industrially by the decomposition of ammonium nitrate (itself produced by adding nitric acid and ammonia HNO3 + NH3 → NH4NO3).
What volume of O2 collected at 22.0 C and 728 mm Hg would be produced by the decomposition of 8.15 g KClO3?
2.52 L
What gas is produced when metals react with an acid?

What happens in a can of spoiled food as gas is produced?
A chemical reaction of food decomposition occured.
What gas is generated from the decomposition of waste material in a landfill?
methane gas is produced it very bad for the environment that why u recycle and reuse stuff
Which greenhouse gas given off during decomposition?
Carbon dioxide
Which greenhouse gas is given off during decomposition?
Carbon dioxide
What happens to nitrogen during decomposition?
It is returned to the atmosphere as a gas.
What gas a generated from the decomposition of wast material in a landfill?

Why is methane called marsh gas wirte two method for the preparation of methane gas giving balanced equation?
methane is called a mash gas because of where it is found. it is produced during the decomposition of plant matrials in the absence of air under the earth crust.
