Reaction of combustion of methane will give off lot of energy.

In any combustion reaction there will always be formation of water vapor and heat.

Methane + oxygen = combustion reaction.

1. Combustion: reacting methane with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.

2. Halogenation: reacting methane with a halogen (X2) produces an acid (HX), ethane, and a mixture of CH3X, CH2X2, and CHX3. This process follows the free-radical holgenation mechanism.

3. Steam Reforming AKA Fossil Fuel Reforming: reacting methane (the fossil fuel) with high-temperature steam to produce hydrogen (among other compounds).

Methane gas is a compound; you think probable to the combustion of methane.


Is the combustion of methane endo or exothermic reaction?

Let's think about what happens in the combustion of methane. Take natural gas for example (methane) used to heat homes, or used in stoves. The product is heat, therefore heat is given off. Therefore EXOTHERMIC.


When methane and oxygen react in a combustion reaction what produces?

Is burning matane of chemical reaction?

Check your spelling- think you mean methane. Burning (combustion) of ANYTHING is a chemical reaction.


How many molecules of oxygen are needed for the incomplete combustion of one molecule of methane?

Oxygen is NOT a PRODUCT (it is not produced) from the complete combustion of methane, it is a REACTANT (it is used in the reaction). The answer is therefore a mass of zero.


How do you determine the percent yield of a combustion reaction of 50mL of methane with 125 grams of oxygen gas that produces 87 grams of carbon dioxide?

For the combustion of 50 mL methane only 1,05 g oxygen are needed.


What is the chemical formula for combustion of methane?

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + Energy (Heat) Methane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water and Energy (Heat)
