No methane wont burn in oxygen free atmosphere
Because you need oxygen to burn Methane. Methane by itself, even in the presence of lightning and comet strikes, is a perfectly safe gas. so methane does not burn in absence of oxygen

Possible formation of CO as an intermediate product.

∙ 12y agoMethane does not have a chemical reaction with any gas in air. the chemical composition of methane is CH4, so even if it is burnt in presence of O2 it releases CO2.

How much heat is released when methane and oxygen are burned?
890 kJ of energy are released when I mole of methane (16 g) is completely burned in oxygen.
What two substance are formed when methane is burned in plenty of oxygen?
When methane is burned in oxygen, assuming complete combustion, the products are carbon dioxide and water.
What are the reactants when methane burns in oxygen?
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 happens when you burn methane?
The chemical reaction of methane oxydation (burning) is: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O
What happens if 0.1 mole methane reacts with 0.1 mole oxygen gas?
Lets start with the reaction of methane fully reacting with oxygen: CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O The ratio CH4:O2 is 1:2 So 0.1 mole of methane can potentially react with 0.2 mole of oxygen. Seeing as we only have 0.1 mole oxygen we know that we have excess of methane. Because of the lack of oxygen the methane can form carbonmonoxide (CO) instead of CO2. (if someone knows the composition of the final product, please add here. As far as i know, you cant predict the CO:CO2 ratio.)

Which gas does methane react with when natural gas is burned?
Oxygen
When methane is burned in the presence of oxygen the two chemicals react together what is the combustion reactions?
Methane plus oxygen produces water and carbon dioxide, plus energy.
When methane reacts with very little oxygen carbon is produced what is the word equation for this?
Methane + Oxygen > Carbon (soot) + Water
What happens to propanol when it reacts with oxygen?
Propanol can be burned.
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
How do you separate oxygen from methane?
Methane does not have oxygen in the bond.
When methane is burned in a lime kiln why are the wast gages carbon dioxide and nitrogen?
the oxygen in the air combines with the methane making carbon dioxide and leaving un reacted nitrogen from the air.

When methane cH4 gas is burned in the presence of oxygen the following chemical reaction occurs.cH4 plus 2O2 cO2 plus 2H2O if 1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen then?
6.02x10^23 molecules of CO2 and 1.2x10^24 molecules of H2O are produced.
What organisms can survive in methane and ammonia gases?
Yes, some types of bacteria use methane and convert it to oxygen. Same happens with ammonia. Search these types of bacteria.
