Until a chemist or other expert replaces or improves this answer, I submit the following partial list of components which I think would be generated in a garbage landfill:

Methane gas [CH4---"natural gas"], Hydrogen Sulphide [H2s], Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphuric Acid, Ammonium Hydroxide, Ammonia, some limited amount of "compost" from vegetation, oxides of various metals, and a variety of salts resulting from the combination of some of the above products.

What is the name given to chemicals after they have undergo a chemical reaction?

The chemicals that result from a chemical reaction are called products. They are formed when reactants undergo a transformation during the reaction process. The reactants are the initial substances that participate in the reaction, while the products are the new substances produced.


How are chemicals produced?

The term chemical includes many naturally occurring substances. For example, water is a chemical. An empty box is full of chemicals; air is composed of molecules of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals. Most everything you can touch is made of chemicals. So, this is a very broad question and explaining how each chemical can be produced would take many, many volumes.


What is it called when something takes part in a chemical reaction?

The substance (or substances) initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants or reagents


How are lysosomes like a garbage collector?

Lysosomes are like a garbage collector because they contain enzymes that break down waste materials such as worn-out cell parts, foreign substances, and toxins. These enzymes help digest and recycle these cellular waste products, similar to a garbage collector removing and processing trash to keep the cell clean and functioning properly.


What chemicals produced by humans damage the ozone layer?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), and methyl chloroform (CH3CCl3) are the main chemicals produced by humans that have been found to damage the ozone layer. These substances contain chlorine and bromine atoms, which can destroy ozone molecules in the stratosphere, contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer.
