Gasses found in Earths atmosphere.
When Methane combusts (IE add oxygen, burn it), you get CO2 and H2O.
The vapour density of equimolar mixture of methane and oxygen is 0.0831 lbm/ft3.
No methane wont burn in oxygen free atmosphere Because you need oxygen to burn Methane. Methane by itself, even in the presence of lightning and comet strikes, is a perfectly safe gas. so methane does not burn in absence of oxygen Vishal Rijhwani
Zero percent.
890 kJ of energy are released when I mole of methane (16 g) is completely burned in oxygen.
Methane does not have oxygen in the bond.
The main reason is that oxygen is abundant in the atmosphere but methane is not. Air is 21% oxygen but only 0.00018% methane, so there is not enough methane in air to be of any use.
Methane and oxygen.
Combustion products of methane would be water and CO2. Methane is CH4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane
methane and oxygen react together (combustion) to give carbon dioxide + water. The reactants are methane and oxygen which react to form the products water and carbon dioxide.
Methane + Oxygen > Carbon (soot) + Water
