Natural gas consists primarily of methane.

The chemical formula for methane is CH4

Answer:

Natural gas has no chemical formula as it is a mixture of various gases which can vary slightly. The seller usually specifies the composition so that the user has an idea of the heating value. A typical natural gas would contain:

Species: Mole %

Methane: 90-96

Ethane: 1-5

Propane: <2

Butane: <1

Other Hydrocarbon: Trace

Nitrogen: 1-5

Carbon Dioxide: < 1
