Methane is the IUPAC name for the main constituent in natural gas (CH4). Methane stores energy in the C-H chemical bonds and this stored energy is readily released as heat through a chemical process known as combustion (burning) which is a largely exergonic reaction.

What is burning methane?
If you mean is burning methane comparatively better than releasing it into the atmosphere, then yes it is. Methane is a greenhouse gas, twenty-one times more powerful than carbon dioxide. If methane is released into the atmosphere it works as a greenhouse gas. If it is burnt, it released carbon dioxide instead. Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas, but it is not as powerful as methane. So burning methane is good for the environment.
What type of gas is Methane?
Methane gas is a greenhouse gas used in most industries. It is an alkane (compound with CO2 and hydrogen particles).
Is the burning of methane gas in a cooker a physical or chemical change?
Burning is a chemical change, an oxydation.
What is the statement methane as a gas that easily catches fire describe?
Burning of methane is an oxidation reaction.
What is the gas used in high intensity lamp?
Methane.
Why do we use methane gas for burning in gas fires?
Methane gas is highly flammable which makes it a good fuel source for gas burning.
Why is methane used in gas fires?
It is used Because Methane Gas is flamable.

What is the common name and use of CH4?
Are u talking about methane gas? it is used as fuel, for burning purpose.
What gas is used for burning?
There are several gasses used for 'burning' depending on the application, for example natural gas (methane) is used for cooking, central heating and in power stations etc, propane is used as a portable (bottled) gas for cooking and heating, industry uses propane for cutting scrap metal etc, acetylene is also used for cutting and welding and the Jewelry industry uses hydrogen gas as a fuel.
How can you reduce the impact of burning methane on global warming?
We can stop burning methane. Actually burning methane is better than letting it escape into the atmosphere. Methane, when burnt, emits carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, but methane, when released into the air, is twenty-one times more dangerous.
What type of gas is Methane?
Methane gas is a greenhouse gas used in most industries. It is an alkane (compound with CO2 and hydrogen particles).
What gas is used when methane is burnt?
Methane and oxygen.
Is the burning of methane gas in a cooker a physical or chemical change?
Burning is a chemical change, an oxydation.
Molecular equation for burning methane gas?
Ch4+ 2o2 ---> 2h2o + co2
What gas does methane produce when burnt?
The products produced when burning methane (CH4) are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Why is methane so dangerous in a mine?
It is dangerous because it can replace the oxygen in your lungs and it is odorless resulting in asphyxia. methane is a harmful gas that if inhaled, it can kill you. :-[
