What is methane gas made of?

Answer 1

There are two elements.They are carbon and hydrogen.

Answer 2

Hydrogen and Carbon.

Alkanes (including methane) are the simplest carbon-based homologous series. Their formula can be found by CnH2n+2 - for example, meth- indicates one, so C1H2x1+2, giving CH4. The structural formula is as follows;

H

H-C-H

H

Other compounds in this series include ethane, propane and butane.

Answer 3

Most live stock eg. Cattle, sheep and pigs. It is released in the live stocks natural gas (farts and fiecies) however this only produces a small amount.

Ruminants such as sheep and cattle who "chew on their cud" release methane when they regurgitate the food to chew it again.

Another source of methane from livestock is effluent ponds such as those used in intensive livestock production such as piggereies and cattle feed lots. the wastes are flushed into a lagoon and the fermentation releases the methane.

Answer 4

Sewer gas fumes, septic tank gas fumes, rotting food or animals.

Answer 5

Methane is composed of carbon and hydrogen, combined in the molecule CH4

Answer 6

methane is made up of one carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms CH4 is its chemical symbol

Answer 7

Methane is made of molecules each consisting of four hydrogen atoms bonded to one carbon atom.
