Ultraviolet Light
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.
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 and oxygen react in a combustion reaction, carbon dioxide and water are produced, along with heat and light as energy is released. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.
Tetramethyl-lead IV acts as a catalyst in the free radical substitution reaction between methane and chlorine by generating methyl radicals through homolytic cleavage. These methyl radicals then react with chlorine to form methyl chloride and regenerate the lead catalyst, thus increasing the rate of the overall reaction.
For a reaction between oxygen molecule and hydrogen molecule to take place the bond between the two oxygen atom in O2 and the two hydrogen atom in H2 is required to be breaked. For this process a high temperature is needed which is not possible at room temperature. Since no bond breaks to make an reacting atom, the reaction does not takes place at room temperature
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.
Methane does not react with chlorine in the 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.
Chlorine gas does not react with itself, so cold and dilute chlorine gas will generally not undergo any significant chemical reactions. However, if a chlorine molecule is activated by UV light or a high energy source, it can dissociate into chlorine atoms which can then react with other chlorine molecules to form Cl2O or ClO2.
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
When methane reacts with chlorine under sunlight, it forms chloromethane and hydrogen chloride. This reaction is a substitution reaction where one or more hydrogen atoms in methane are replaced by chlorine atoms. Overall, the reaction is exothermic and can be potentially explosive.
When chlorine and hydrogen peroxide react, they form hydrochloric acid and oxygen gas. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat energy.
Yes, methane does not react with limewater (calcium hydroxide). Methane is a non-polar molecule and does not have the necessary functional groups to react with calcium hydroxide.
Lithium and chlorine react to form lithium chloride, a white crystalline salt. The reaction between lithium and chlorine is highly exothermic and releases a large amount of energy.
Methane requires a source of ignition, like a flame, to initiate the combustion process. This is because methane needs to reach its ignition temperature before it can react with oxygen in the air to produce a flame. In the absence of a spark or flame, the energy needed to overcome the activation energy barrier is not present to start the reaction.
You start with methane (CH4 ) and chlorine ( Cl2) and react them thus:- CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl
Yes, chlorine atoms can react with ozone to produce chlorine monoxide. This reaction can contribute to ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
