It is not clear what you mean by 'trap'. It contains chemical energy which can be released by burning, giving 55.5 MJ per kg. You may however be referring to the ability of the substance to absorb heat, i.e. its heat capacity. This is the amount of energy absorbed when the temperature of the substance increases by 1 degree Kelvin. This is 2.087 kJ/kgK at 200 K. (It varies a little with temperature.)

Why methane is collected by downward displacement?

Methane is not soluble in water and the density is also lower.


What type of gas which can be collected from landfills and burned for energy?

Methane.


What might happen to the methane that's not collected from landfills?

If methane from landfills is not collected, it will be released into the atmosphere contributing to global warming. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat much more effectively than carbon dioxide, thus exacerbating climate change.


What is a waste to energy plant?

You are probably thinking of waste dumps where methane is generated by the decay of organic matter, and where this methane is collected and used to produce electricity. Combustion engines can run directly from the methane coupled to a generator.


What fuel is produce in some landfills?

Bio gas (methane) is produced in landfills through the decay of plant matter. In some landfills methane gas is collected for use as fuel. Otherwise, methane is a significant greenhouse gas.

How was methane discovered?

Methane was discovered in 1776 by Italian physicist Alessandro Volta when he collected the gas produced by decaying organic matter in a marsh. He then named the gas "marsh gas" or "flammable air" before it was later identified as methane.


The name which Dalton used for the gas which he collected from ponds?

Dalton called the gas he collected from ponds "marsh gas" or "carbonic acid gas." Today, we know this gas as methane.


What does biogass collected from landfills mainly consist of?

Biogas collected from landfills mainly consists of methane and carbon dioxide. Other trace gases such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds may also be present in smaller quantities.


What is the preparation for methane between sodium acetate and sodium hydroxide?

To prepare methane from sodium acetate and sodium hydroxide, first mix sodium acetate with sodium hydroxide in the presence of water to form sodium acetate solution. Then, add sulfuric acid to the solution to initiate the reaction, resulting in the formation of methane gas. Methane can be collected by upward displacement of water in a gas collection apparatus.


Methane and ethane separating method?

Methane and ethane can be separated through a process called fractional distillation, which takes advantage of their different boiling points. The mixture is heated in a column, and as the temperature increases, the components with lower boiling points vaporize first and are collected at different levels of the column. This allows for the separation of methane and ethane based on their boiling points.


How could you separate the carbon and hydrogen in methane?

One way to separate carbon and hydrogen in methane is through a process called steam methane reforming. This process involves reacting methane with steam at high temperatures to produce hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide. The hydrogen can then be collected for use, while the carbon monoxide can be further processed to separate it from hydrogen.
