Is methane a natural gas?
Methane is another word for natural gas
What is the true methane number of methane?
Methane has the formula CH4. So its molecular weight is 12 + 4 = 16. Is that what you mean?
What is the Word equation for methane burning?
methane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water 2 Methane molecules plus 4 Oxygen molecules gives 2 molecules of Carbon dioxide plus 4 Water molecules.
What is the word equation for methane burning in the air?
The reactants are methane CH4 and oxygen O2 and the products are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O
What is burning methane?
If you mean is burning methane comparatively better than releasing it into the atmosphere, then yes it is. Methane is a greenhouse gas, twenty-one times more powerful than carbon dioxide. If methane is released into the atmosphere it works as a greenhouse gas. If it is burnt, it released carbon dioxide instead. Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas, but it is not as powerful as methane. So burning methane is good for the environment.
