What else can I help you with?
What gas is produced when coal is burnt in cars?
methane
What gas does methane produce when burnt?
The products produced when burning methane (CH4) are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Does natural gas produce energy all of the time?
Natural gas (or methane) releases energy only when it is burnt.
When methane is burnt does it produce more carbon dioxide than natural gas?
Methane is practically the same as natural gas. When 1 molecule of methane (CH4) is burnt in oxygen it produces 1 molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) and two molecules of water (H2O). If the methane is NOT burnt it causes twenty times more damage as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. (So keep lighting those farts!)
Why is methane from waste burnt?
Methane from waste is burned to convert it into carbon dioxide, which is less potent as a greenhouse gas. This process helps to reduce the environmental impact of methane emissions on climate change. Additionally, burning methane can also be used to generate energy in the form of heat or electricity.
What type of gas is Methane?
Methane gas is a greenhouse gas used in most industries. It is an alkane (compound with CO2 and hydrogen particles).
What happens to the hydrogen atoms in methane when it is burnt in plenty of oxygen?
it burns and seperates actually it burns and oxygen burns it , methane is the gas that we mostly use in southern countries for cooking
Does methane gas come from automobiles?
No, methane gas comes from organic material that rots anaerobically (without air), like belching cattle, or the melting of tundra and frozen lakes. Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas that comes from automobiles (when fossil fuel is burnt).
How can methane gas be helpful?
Methane gas can be helpful if it is captured from the anaerobic fermentation of animal wastes and then burnt as fuel. This makes it biofuel, a carbon neutral source of energy. Some pig farms are doing this already with some success.
How can you reduce the impact of burning methane on global warming?
We can stop burning methane. Actually burning methane is better than letting it escape into the atmosphere. Methane, when burnt, emits carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, but methane, when released into the air, is twenty-one times more dangerous.
What are uses for methane?
Used for cooking as gas
How do you make methane?
Methane is made by living things and is also a fossil fuel. Swamp gas is a good example, the biologic action of bacteria in the swamp causes Methane to be released to the surface, this gas can and has been burnt at the source. Other sources are animal (and human) Flatulence, oil wells etc.
