The reactants when methane burns in oxygen are methane and oxygen.
The products are CO2, water and heat about 890 Kj/mole is given out.
The equation is : CH4(g) + 2O2 _______> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat (-890 Kj/mole)
When one mole of methane gas reacts with (burns in) 2 moles of oxygen gas we get 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water and 890 Kilo joules of heat is released.
This reaction is exothermic as heat is released and a combustion reaction as methane gas is burned in free supply oxygen not limited supply otherwise carbon monoxide (CO) will be formed.
Hope that helped you out. :-D
What else can I help you with?
Is the reaction between methane and oxygen exothermic or endothermic?
The reaction between methane and oxygen is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat. This is because the bonds formed in the products (water and carbon dioxide) are stronger than the bonds in the reactants (methane and oxygen), resulting in a release of energy.
What are the reactants in magnesium?
Magnesium and oxygen, as shown below: 2Mg + O2 ------> 2MgO
What is the combustion equation for methane without oxygen?
The reactants are CH4, O2 and the products are CO2, H2O. CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
CO2 H2O carbon particulates and carbon monoxide are released into the air as methane burns How would the total number of atoms in the reactants compare to the total number of atoms in the product?
When methane burns completely no carbon monoxide (CO) would be produced.In complete combustion the balanced equation for the burning of methane would be:CH4 (methane) + 2O2 (oxygen) -> CO2(carbon dioxide) + 2H2O (water)i.e. the total number of each atom in the reactants would be identical to the total number of each atom in the products.
In a combustion reaction one of the reactants is .?
In a combustion reaction, one of the reactants is typically an organic compound (hydrocarbon) such as a fuel like methane, propane, or gasoline. This organic compound reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and heat as products.
What happens to the hydrogen atoms in methane when it is burnt in plenty of oxygen?
it burns and seperates actually it burns and oxygen burns it , methane is the gas that we mostly use in southern countries for cooking
Which two reactants are also redox reactions?
Methane, CH4, burns in oxygen gas to form water and carbon dioxide. What is the correct balanced chemical equation for this reaction?
What is the reactants and products of CH4 202C02 2H2O?
The reactants are methane an oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
What substance will the carbon in methane change into when it burns in oxygen?
In carbondioxide: CH4 + 3 O2 ==> CO2 + 2 H2O
When methane burns carbon dioxide and water are formed The mass of carbon dioxide plus the mass of water equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of OXYGEN?
When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.
What gas in the air reacts to sulphur when it burns?
Combustion products of methane would be water and CO2. Methane is CH4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane
If a fossil fuel burns without enough oxygen which of these products will be produced?
Carbon monoxide and methane
When methane burns in the presesnce of insufficient oxygen the product of the reaction include carbon monoixde?
Yes, the products of CH4 + O2 (Methane + Insufficient Oxygen) are water and carbon monoxide.
Is the reaction between methane and oxygen exothermic or endothermic?
The reaction between methane and oxygen is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat. This is because the bonds formed in the products (water and carbon dioxide) are stronger than the bonds in the reactants (methane and oxygen), resulting in a release of energy.
What are the reactants in magnesium?
Magnesium and oxygen, as shown below: 2Mg + O2 ------> 2MgO
When methane burns in air the bonds in methane molecules and oxygen molecules are broken?
Yes; the reaction is: CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O
Does the hydrogen on methane go when it becomes carbon dioxide?
Methane burns in oxygen and gets oxidised. Carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide, hydrogen to water.
