Both methane and carbon dioxide are green house gases (GHGs) that contribute to global climate change.

Methane is a simple alkane with the chemical formula CH4 (one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen).

Carbon dioxide has the chemical formula CO2 (cone atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen).

Both methane and carbon dioxide are gases, and each has both biological and non-biological sources in nature.

Does the hydrogen on methane go when it becomes carbon dioxide?

Methane burns in oxygen and gets oxidised. Carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide, hydrogen to water.


When methane burns carbon dioxide and water are formed The mass of carbon dioxide plus the mass of water equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of OXYGEN?

When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.


What has more energy rich bonds carbon dioxide or methane?

methane


What commonly contains water ammonia carbon dioxide and methane.?

Water is H2O, ammonia is NH3, carbon dioxide is CO2 and methane is CH4.


How are the products of combustion different when carbon is burnt rather than methane?

When carbon is burnt, Carbon Dioxide only is produced. When methane is burnt, both carbon dioxide and water are produced.


What volume of carbon dioxide gas is produced after the complete combustion of 1 L of methane gas?

When methane is completely combusted, 1 mole of methane yields 1 mole of carbon dioxide. So, if 1 liter of methane gas is burned, it would produce 1 liter of carbon dioxide gas.


Which are the two major greenhouse gases?

Carbon dioxide is emitted by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).Methane is emitted by bad farming practices in cattle and rice farming.


How many times worse is methane compared to carbon dioxide?

Methane is roughly 25 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. This means that, molecule for molecule, methane has a significantly higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide.


What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 2.70103 g of methane?

Burning 2 700 g of methane produce 70406 g of carbon dioxide.


When methane is burnt does it produce more carbon dioxide than natural gas?

Methane is practically the same as natural gas. When 1 molecule of methane (CH4) is burnt in oxygen it produces 1 molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) and two molecules of water (H2O). If the methane is NOT burnt it causes twenty times more damage as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. (So keep lighting those farts!)


How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced from the complete combustion of 100.0 grams of methane?

To determine the moles of carbon dioxide produced from the combustion of methane, we first need to balance the chemical equation for the combustion of methane: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. From the balanced equation, we see that 1 mole of methane produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide. The molar mass of methane (CH4) is 16.05 g/mol, and the molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44.01 g/mol. Therefore, 100.0 grams of methane is equivalent to 100.0 g / 16.05 g/mol = 6.23 moles of methane, which would produce 6.23 moles of carbon dioxide.


How many moles of carbon dioxide are formed from 14 moles of methane?

When methane undergoes complete combustion, the equation for the reaction is CH4 + 2 O2 -> CO2 + 2 H2O. This shows that the number of moles of carbon dioxide formed are the same as the number of moles of methane reacted, so that 14 moles of carbon dioxide will be formed from 14 moles of methane.
