The vapour density of equimolar mixture of methane and oxygen is 0.0831 lbm/ft3.
It depends. You can have a gaseous mixture such as air, which would be a homogeneous mixture. But a single gas such as oxygen or methane would be a pure substance.
When Methane combusts (IE add oxygen, burn it), you get CO2 and H2O.
Methane is a compound.The answer to your question of, Is methane gas an element, a compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture can be deduced as follows:What is the structure of methane gas? CH4Elements are a single type of atom. Anything from the periodic chart, such as H, C, Na, P, K, etc. Itcan include more than one atom such as H2, but it is the same element.In CH4, we have two elements a carbon atom (C) and 4 hydrogen atoms (H4), not one single type of atom. Therefore, it is not an element.Compounds are two or more elements bonded together such as CO2 ( a carbon atom and 4 oxygen atoms), NaCl (a sodium atom and a chloride atom, H2O (2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom).In CH4, we have two elements a carbon atom (C) and 4 hydrogen atoms (H4), not one single type of atom. Therefore, it is a compound.Mixtures are a combination of elements and/or compounds combined. CH4 is a compound, but we have not added another element or compound to it, so it is not a mixture. If we added an alcohol (-OH) to CH4, we could make methanol, a mixture of methane and alcohol. Therefore, methane is not a mixture.
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.
Methane does not have oxygen in the bond.
air is a mixture of gasses that are onmpouds like CO2, Methane and so on and gasses that are ellements like Oxygen Nitrogen argon and others. Air is a mixture of compounds and ellements.

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
Air is approximately 20% oxygen, 79% nitrogen and a mixture of argon, other inert gases, methane, carbon dioxide and ozone.
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
This really depends upon the kind of gas you are talking about. Nitrogen is a gas, and it does not react with oxygen at normal temperatures. Methane does react very readily with oxygen, although even then, you would need some kind of spark to set it off. A methane oxygen mixture does not so much burst into flames, as explode. It would burn all at once.
