Why is the concentration of methane increasing around the world?
Methane is produced by farming activities as it is produced by anaerobic microorganisms growing in the mud in paddy fields and so as the population is increasing so is the number of farming activities happening
How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced from the complete combustion of 100.0 grams of methane?
First a balanced chemical equation is needed.CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2OThere is a 1:1 ratio of moles between methane and carbon dioxide so the amount of moles of methane used is the exact number of moles of carbon dioxide yielded.To determine the number of moles of methane we take the amount used and divide by methane's mass which is about 16.04 g/mol.100g/ 16.04g/mol=6.234moles of methane.6.234 moles of methane are used and 6.234 moles of carbon dioxide are produced.
What is the poisonous gas produced by cows?
Cows emit methane, mostly from the front, but a smaller amount from the rear. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is twenty times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Scientists are experimenting with different kinds of cattle feed to try and reduce the amount of methane produced. However it is also down to the efficiency of the animal to convert feed more efficiently that makes for less methane production. You can have any type or kind of feed that, theoretically, reduces methane production from the belching or flatulence of cattle, but it is more down to the animal's ability to convert the feed efficiently than the feed itself that may help reduce the greenhouse gas methane. Genetics that make cattle more efficient at gaining weight on roughages like grass and hay can make them highly efficient at gaining weight on high-concentrate rations than cattle that do not grow well on grass alone.
What is the amount of water produced by the combustion of 32grams of methane?
According to Lavoisier: Mass reactants [total in] = mass products [total out] x g Methane + 32 g oxygen = 22 g carbon dioxide + 18 water x + 32 = 22 + 18 = 40 x = 40 - 32 = 8 g methane
What is methane in the periodic table?
the periodic table contains the 118 base elements, these react to form a varity of compounds methane is a compound produced when four hydrogen atoms and a carbon atom react
What is the gas that is produced when garbage decomposes?

What gas is produced in the gut of sheep or cattle?
Methane .
What gas is produced when coal is burnt in cars?
methane
Is methane natural or man made?
Naturally produced in the intestines of of many mammals. Methane is the reason you can light your farts.
What gas is produced in swamps and in your large intestine by fermentation?
Methane
How is electricity produced through cow dung?
methane gas
How are the products of combustion different when carbon is burnt rather than methane?
When carbon is burnt, Carbon Dioxide only is produced. When methane is burnt, both carbon dioxide and water are produced.
What gas is generated from the decomposition of waste material in a landfill?
methane gas is produced it very bad for the environment that why u recycle and reuse stuff
What are the three types of methane formation?
1) Methane is produced by vegetation that is buried and being turned into coal. The heat and temperature result in the liberation of methane from more complex organic molecules.2) Methane is produced by bacteria breaking down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, plant material at the bottom of stagnant lakes for example.3) Methane is produced when clathrates warm up. Clathrates are complex compounds of water and hydrocarbons, and many millions of tonnes exist at the bottom of the ocean and in the tundra.4) Methane is produced in the stomachs of ruminant animals such as cows and sheep by the breakdown of plant material in their stomachs.
