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 two substance are formed when methane is burned in plenty of oxygen?

When methane is burned in oxygen, assuming complete combustion, the products are carbon dioxide and water.


Are frozen nitrogen methane and carbon monoxide Pluto's metals?

No. While frozen methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen do exist on Pluto, they are not metals.


Any names of 10 gases?

Acetaldehyde- Argon- Carbon Dioxide- Carbon Monoxide- Helium- Hydrogen- Methane- Neon- Nitrogen- Oxygen


When the reaction is balanced how many carbon dioxide molecules are produced for every methane molecule burned?

When methane is burned, one molecule of methane (CH4) reacts with two molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) and two molecules of water (H2O). So, for every molecule of methane burned, one molecule of carbon dioxide is produced.


What gas is released when peat is burned?

When peat is burned, carbon dioxide and water vapor are released as gases. Additionally, combustion of peat may also release small amounts of methane and nitrogen compounds.


Does natural gas release nitrogen oxide when burned?

Yes, burning natural gas releases nitrogen oxides (NOx) along with carbon dioxide and water vapor. NOx emissions contribute to air pollution and can have negative impacts on air quality and human health.


What gas is released when biomass is burned?

When biomass is burned, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere. Additionally, small amounts of other gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) may also be emitted.


Which gas is a greenhouse gas A nitrogen B sulfur dioxide C oxygen D carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide (CO2).


What are examples of covalent compounds?

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)


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.


What are the ten gases?
