The reaction is:

CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

Carbon dioxide (gas) and water (also as a gas) are formed. The water vapours are transformed in a liquid by condensation on a cold surface.

What gas burns with a blue flame?

Natural gas burns with a blue flame due to its high concentration of methane. The blue color is a result of complete combustion, indicating that the fuel is burning efficiently.


Why does natural gas burn blue?

Natural gas burns blue because of the chemical composition of methane, which is the main component of natural gas. When methane burns, it produces a clean and efficient flame that appears blue due to the complete combustion process.


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


Is Natural gas burns a chemical or physical property?

The burning of natural gas is a chemical property because it involves a chemical reaction. When natural gas (methane) reacts with oxygen in the air, it produces carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy. This is a chemical change as new substances are formed.


What are substances made of carbon carbon bonds only?

The allotropic forms of carbon, Diamond, Graphite and others have only carbon-carbon bonds
