they are both bad green house gases, methane is natural, co2 isn't
Actually, CO2 is naturally occurring. We breathe it out every time we exhale. Volcanoes produce it, and it is a product of nearly every organic combustion reaction (such as in wildfires). Methane is much more contributory to the greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide because it absorbs more heat.
Methane burns in oxygen and gets oxidised. Carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide, hydrogen to water.
When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.
methane
Water is H2O, ammonia is NH3, carbon dioxide is CO2 and methane is CH4.
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.

When carbon is burnt, Carbon Dioxide only is produced. When methane is burnt, both carbon dioxide and water are produced.
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.
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.
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.
Burning 2 700 g of methane produce 70406 g of carbon dioxide.
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!)
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.
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.
