Methane can form in space through various processes, primarily involving the interaction of cosmic rays with simple molecules like water (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and ammonia (NH₃) on icy bodies or in dense molecular clouds. These interactions can lead to complex chemical reactions that produce methane (CH₄). Additionally, methane may be generated from the breakdown of larger organic molecules or the reaction of hydrogen with carbon-containing compounds in the harsh conditions of space.
What else can I help you with?
Can methane explode?
Yes, methane can explode when there is a sufficient amount mixed with air in the presence of an ignition source. Methane is highly flammable and can form explosive mixtures in the air at certain concentrations.
True or false Methane hydrates form within the ocean and are not expensive to obtain?
True and False. Methane hydrates form mostly under permafrost and ice caps, but some form in the ocean.Methane hydrates are expensive to obtain.
When methane reacts with very little oxygen carbon is produced what is the word equation for this?
Methane + Oxygen > Carbon (soot) + Water
How much okygen nitrogen and other gases are on Eris?
None. It is too cold to have any gasses. The surface appears to be methane frozen into solid methane.
What substance is responsible for the colors of Neptune and Uranus?
Uranus has a bluish appearance because its atmosphere is composed of hydrogen, helium and methane. The methane in the upper atmosphere absorbs the red light from the sun but reflects the blue light from the sun back into space.
Is methane harmful in any way?
Methane is extremely flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air. Methane is violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space.
What is the three dimension of methane?
Methane is a central carbon atom surrounded by 4 hydrogen atoms. The 4 hydrogen atoms all push themselves away form each other as far as possible so they form the corners of a triangular pyramid with the carbon as the centre of the pyramid.
What form of energy is methane?
Chemical I guess.
Is there a difference between methane and methane ice?
Methane is just a general word for the substance, while methane ice is frozen methane, in it's solid form. It has to be quite cold for this to happen, it's a gas at normal earth temperatures and pressures.
Is there liqide on titan?
Yes, in the form of liquid methane
When methane gas reacts with oxygen what happen?
When methane gas reacts with oxygen, it undergoes combustion to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light. Methane (CH4) + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O.
Can methane explode?
Yes, methane can explode when there is a sufficient amount mixed with air in the presence of an ignition source. Methane is highly flammable and can form explosive mixtures in the air at certain concentrations.
True or false Methane hydrates form within the ocean and are not expensive to obtain?
True and False. Methane hydrates form mostly under permafrost and ice caps, but some form in the ocean.Methane hydrates are expensive to obtain.
Where are methane hydrates found?
As Methane Hydrants form at low temperature and at high pressure, they can be found on the seabed and in arctic perma-frost.
When methane reacts with very little oxygen carbon is produced what is the word equation for this?
Methane + Oxygen > Carbon (soot) + Water
