Best Answer

Sodium ethanoate (CH3COONa)and Soda lime(NaOH) in the presence of Calcium oxide(CaO) and 300 degree Celsius will give Sodium carbonate(Na2CO3) and methane(CH4). methane is collected by downward displacement of water as it is only slightly soluble in water and is lighter than air.

The most common way to generate hydrogen gas in the school lab in my experience is to combine zinc (in a form called mossy zinc that has a very large surface area) with hydrochloric acid.

If you intend to collect the gas for use later, you use a method called collecting gas over water.

as it is, methane is an alkane, and every alkane has the same method of preparation. It is prepared by reacting a caustic alkali eg. soda lime( deliquisent NaOH ) with ethyl ethanoate

it's unlikely that there is one. if you made chlorine gas in a lab it would kill you so scientists tend to avoid making it
