What else can I help you with?
Name three common elements vital to life?
love trust money _______________ Not sure about the above; there are probably many individuals who are managing without at least one of them. An alternate could be: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen. Erm, I can live without trust and money, maybe even love. Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen are good though ^o^.
What could gas hydrates be used for?
Gas hydrates can potentially be used as a source of energy due to their high methane content. They can also be studied to understand their role in the global carbon cycle and as a potential way to store carbon dioxide. Additionally, gas hydrates have the potential to be used in gas separation processes.
What would happen if carbon dioxide and methane were not around the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide and methane are two greenhouse gases. They trap infrared heat rising from the earth's surface and help to keep the earth warm enough for life. If they were not around, the earth would be too cold for life.
Ion containing atoms of hydrogen carbon and oxygen?
This could describe a molecule like formic acid (HCOOH), which contains hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms. These atoms are combined in specific ratios to form a molecule with distinct chemical properties.
Can diamonds be made of helium and hydrogen?
This could be a trick question. A diamond is an allotrope of the element carbon. In stars, which are giant fusion engines, hydrogen is fused into helium, and helium is fused into carbon. In a round about way, yes, diamonds can be made of helium and hydrogen. The carbon can be compressed and heated in a supernova at the end of its life, and diamonds can form. The carbon has to be transformed into diamond. But they diamonds are very, very tiny. Some meteorites contain thousands of diamonds, but they are so small that it is hard to see them with an optical microscope.
Molecule that consists of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms?
The molecular formula is CH4. This molecule is know as Carbon tetrahydride or more simply Methane.
What does CH4 stand for on the periodic table?
Methane
How many hydrogen atoms could become a single carbon atom?
Its impossible. The carbon and hydrogen are 2 different elements, they are 2 different atoms.If hydrogen atoms connect that's going to become a hydrogen molecule.And carbon is an atom, not a molecule.
Could carbon and hydrogen form a covalent bond?
Yes, carbon and hydrogen can form a covalent bond. In fact, one of the most common examples is in methane (CH4) where a carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with four hydrogen atoms. This type of bonding is essential in organic chemistry.
Why doesn't hydrogen produce carbon dioxide?
How could it? There is no carbon in hydrogen. It order to make carbon dioxide, you must have carbon and oxygen.
Is there an alternative natural gas that you could use?
Natural gas is mostly methane (CH4). The alternatives to the fossil fuel methane (which releases extra carbon dioxide that has been out of circulation for millions of years) is methane generated from manure and rotting vegetation. This is a bio-fuel, clean, green and renewable, with no carbon footprint (because the carbon dioxide it releases when burnt was taken out of the atmosphere last season when the original vegetation was grown).Another renewable clean fuel is hydrogen, which at the moment is too expensive to produce.
Do your farts contain carbon dioxide?
No. They are mostly methane, with a little regular air, and water vapor. Methane, of course, is also a greenhouse gas, as is carbon dioxide.
How many electrons are shared between the atoms in the molecules of methane and of water?
Chemical formula of methane is CH4, which means it has 1 atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen. If you check out PTE you see that both carbon and hydrogen are non-metals, which means they make a covalent bond. Carbon is in the 14th group (or 4th), which means it has 4 valence electrons (14 - 10). In order to get stable, carbon has to make a bond with every of those 4 electrons (so he could have 8 electrons in its valence shell, like the closest noble gas). Hydrogen is in the 1st group, so there's only 1 valence electron and hydrogen needs to make a bond with one more electron for stability (like closest noble gas Helium). So, you need 4 hydrogen atoms (each with one electron) to form a bond with everyone of carbon's 4 valence electrons - which in total is 8 electrons.
Can oil turn to ammonia smell?
No, oil cannot turn into an ammonia smell. Ammonia is a compound formed by nitrogen and hydrogen, while oil is composed of carbon and hydrogen. The presence of ammonia smell could indicate a separate source of ammonia contamination.
Does your car emit methane?
== Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon with the molecular formula CH4. Methane could be produced from electricity of renewable energies. Methane can be stored more easily than hydrogen and the transportation, storage and combustion infrastructure are mature (pipelines, gasometers, power plants). As hydrogen and oxygen are produced in the electrolysis of water, : 2H2O → 2H2 + O2 hydrogen would then be reacted with carbon dioxide in Sabatier process, producing methane and water. : CO2 + 4H2 → CH4 + 2H2O Methane would be stored and used to produce electricity later. Produced water would be recycled back to the electrolysis stage, reducing the need for new pure water. In the electrolysis stage oxygen would also be stored for methane combustion in a pure oxygen environment in an adjacent power plant, eliminating e.g. nitrogen oxides. In the combustion of methane, carbon dioxide and water are produced. : CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O Produced carbon dioxide would be recycled back to boost the Sabatier process and water would be recycled back to the electrolysis stage. The carbon dioxide produced by methane combustion would be turned back to methane, thus producing no greenhouse gases. Methane production, storage and adjacent combustion would recycle all the reaction products, creating a cycle. Source www.wikipedia.com
What kind of gas is a fart?
What a straightforward way to ask a question! By the smell of most of them there must be more than methane there. I believe that there is also sulphuretted hydrogen (hydrogen sulphide) which smells like rotten eggs. You could have a crack at 'flatulence' in wikipedia.
Is methane gas a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture or an element or compound?
Methane is a compound.The answer to your question of, Is methane gas an element, a compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture can be deduced as follows:What is the structure of methane gas? CH4Elements are a single type of atom. Anything from the periodic chart, such as H, C, Na, P, K, etc. Itcan include more than one atom such as H2, but it is the same element.In CH4, we have two elements a carbon atom (C) and 4 hydrogen atoms (H4), not one single type of atom. Therefore, it is not an element.Compounds are two or more elements bonded together such as CO2 ( a carbon atom and 4 oxygen atoms), NaCl (a sodium atom and a chloride atom, H2O (2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom).In CH4, we have two elements a carbon atom (C) and 4 hydrogen atoms (H4), not one single type of atom. Therefore, it is a compound.Mixtures are a combination of elements and/or compounds combined. CH4 is a compound, but we have not added another element or compound to it, so it is not a mixture. If we added an alcohol (-OH) to CH4, we could make methanol, a mixture of methane and alcohol. Therefore, methane is not a mixture.
