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.

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 is found in the air when methane is burnt?

Mostly carbon dioxide & water vapor.


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


What chemical do human gases have?

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?

The major air pollutants found in coal are carbon dioxide and methane.


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.


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).
