What are the 2 main products when methane and chlorine react?

Chloromethane is the product that is formed when methane and chlorine react with each other. Dichloromethane is another product that can also be formed when methane and chlorine react.


What is observed when methane is mixed with chlorine water left in the dark?

Methane does not react with chlorine in the dark.


Why methane does not react with oxygen at room temperature?

Energy! Methane is a stable molecule and oxygen is almost (pretty) stable. The there is sufficient energy, called activiation energy, then the two gases will react


Does methane reacts with chlorine in dark?

Theotically, methane can't react with Cl2 in shade as UV light is required to initiate the substitution reaction. Only when there is Cl2 can the C-H bond be broken. However, alkene can react directly with Cl2 due to hydrohalogenation.


When methane is burned in the presence of oxygen the two chemicals react together what is the combustion reactions?

Methane plus oxygen produces water and carbon dioxide, plus energy.


Is this reaction Endothermic The combustion of propane in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. And does methane or propane produce more energy combustion I just dont understand this?

All the combustion reactions I know of are exothermic because heat is released instead of absorbed. And propane gives more energy than methane cause it has more Cs and Hs to react with Oxygen, so one mole of propane will react more and form more product than one mole of methane and giving out more energy.

Can methane and bromine react without sunlight?

Methane and bromine cannot react without the presence of sunlight or U.V light because of lack of energy which is usually supplied by the U.V light to break the bromine molecules to free radicals for the reaction to occur.Hope my answer helped.ABUAD


What would happen when methane react with chlorine?

It undergoes substitution reaction reaction in presence of sunlight by forming four different product like chloroform,carbon tetrachloride etc.................


How do you make cloroform?

You start with methane (CH4 ) and chlorine ( Cl2) and react them thus:- CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl


When sodium and chlorine react they form?

Sodium and Chlorine form Sodium Chloride when they react. This is because the cation of sodium is added to the anion of chlorine.


How chlorine gas reacts with cold- and dilute- Cl2?

Chlorine doesn't react with chlorine.


Methane oxygen carbon dioxide water?

methane and oxygen react together (combustion) to give carbon dioxide + water. The reactants are methane and oxygen which react to form the products water and carbon dioxide.
