Methane and oxygen do react with each other at room temperature, but the reaction requires an input of energy to get started. Once the reaction begins, it is exothermic and produces heat and water as byproducts. This reaction typically needs a spark or flame to initiate it, which is why methane does not spontaneously combust in air at room temperature.

What happens to potassium at room temp?

Potassium is a soft, silver-white metal that is solid at room temperature. It is highly reactive and will react with moisture and oxygen in the air, tarnishing quickly. It is stored under mineral oil to protect it from reacting with oxygen and water vapor in the air.


Why is water liquid at room temp but oxygen is gas at room temp?

Water molecules have stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) that keep them together as a liquid at room temperature. Oxygen molecules have weaker intermolecular forces, so they stay as a gas at room temperature.
