Best Answer

Methane is CH4, one carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms. When burned in air, the carbon atom combines with 2 oxygen atoms to form one carbon dioxide molecule, CO2, and the four hydrogen atoms combine in pairs with one oxygen atom to form two H20 molecules. CH4 + O2 + 2O = CO2 + 2H20. This is an exothermic reaction, meaning that it releases heat.

Where does hydrogen naturally occur?

Hydrogen exists in water and methane, Pure hydrogen as an element is very rare in earth's atmosphere. Normally hydrogen is naturally found combined with other elements. A prime example of this is in water. Hydrogen and oxygen combine to make water.


Percent of hydrogen in methane?

Percentage of hydrogen in methane is 25%. Percentage of hydrogen = mass of hydrogen/mass of methane x 100 mass of hydrogen = 1 x 4= 4 and mass of carbon = 12. Since methane has 4 hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom therefore mass of methane = 16 Percentage of hydrogen = 4/16 x 100 =25
