Methane occurs naturally under the sea. It also occurs naturally below ground. These two areas are the only two areas where methane occurs in its natural state.

When methane is burned in a lime kiln why are the wast gages carbon dioxide and nitrogen?

When methane is burned in a lime kiln, the waste gases are carbon dioxide and nitrogen because methane (CH4) reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) during combustion. Nitrogen is also present in the air and is not directly involved in the combustion process, so it remains as a waste gas in the form of nitrogen (N2).


Name two compounds in unpolluted air?

Carbon Dioxide is present in unpolluted air. Methane (animals grazing literally fart this out) is also present and Nitrogen oxides formed when lighting strikes. The electrical discharge is high enough to cause oxygen and nitrogen to combine. It is basically a natural fertilizer In unpolluted air these compounds are present at levels of about 390 parts per million, 1.8 parts per million, and 1 part per billion respectively. The most abundant and most important compound in unpolluted air is ... water vapour -- present at levels which vary between about 0.1% and 5%, depending on temperature and humidity.


Who is the founder of carbon dioxide?

Joseph Black, a Scottish chemist and physician, first identified carbon dioxide in the 1750s.

What do factories let off into the air?

Factories can release pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter into the air. These emissions can contribute to air pollution and have negative impacts on human health and the environment.

How is methane naturally removed from the atmosphere?

Methane is naturally removed from the atmosphere through a process called oxidation, where it reacts with hydroxyl radicals in the air to form water and carbon dioxide. Additionally, methane can be absorbed by soil and plants, or broken down by microbes in wetlands and oceans.


Why is carbon dioxide and nitrogen produce when you burn methane?

When methane is burned, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Since air also contains nitrogen, some of it can react with oxygen during combustion to form nitrogen oxides (NOx). Carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides are byproducts of this combustion reaction.


What gas to humans release into the air?

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) for the most part, but the components of the original air that was inhaled are still present, although the O2 (oxygen) component will be reduced.

What is the word equation for methane burning in the air?

The reactants are methane CH4 and oxygen O2 and the products are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O

air, methane, carbon dioxide, sulfur containing gases


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.


Do cars pollute the air or people?

Both. Cars emit Hydrocarbons + Nitrogen Oxides + Carbon Dioxide + Carbon Monoxide. People emit Methane and Carbon Dioxide.


What is the major air pollutant found in coal?

Does milk has carbon dioxide content?

No, milk does not contain carbon dioxide naturally. Carbon dioxide can be present in milk if it has been artificially carbonated or if it has absorbed carbon dioxide from the air during processing and packaging.
