Why does methane burn away but metals leave an ash?
Methane burns away completely because it is a hydrocarbon that reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. Metals, on the other hand, do not combust but rather oxidize when exposed to heat. The metal combines with oxygen to form metal oxides, which can appear as ash residue after the combustion process.
What is the abbreviation of methane?
The chemical symbol for methane is CH4.
Does your car emit methane?
== Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon with the molecular formula CH4. Methane could be produced from electricity of renewable energies. Methane can be stored more easily than hydrogen and the transportation, storage and combustion infrastructure are mature (pipelines, gasometers, power plants). As hydrogen and oxygen are produced in the electrolysis of water, : 2H2O → 2H2 + O2 hydrogen would then be reacted with carbon dioxide in Sabatier process, producing methane and water. : CO2 + 4H2 → CH4 + 2H2O Methane would be stored and used to produce electricity later. Produced water would be recycled back to the electrolysis stage, reducing the need for new pure water. In the electrolysis stage oxygen would also be stored for methane combustion in a pure oxygen environment in an adjacent power plant, eliminating e.g. nitrogen oxides. In the combustion of methane, carbon dioxide and water are produced. : CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O Produced carbon dioxide would be recycled back to boost the Sabatier process and water would be recycled back to the electrolysis stage. The carbon dioxide produced by methane combustion would be turned back to methane, thus producing no greenhouse gases. Methane production, storage and adjacent combustion would recycle all the reaction products, creating a cycle. Source www.wikipedia.com
Is Methane a mixture or a pure substance?
Methane is a pure substance.
Can you use methane for fill balloon?
It is possible to use methane, but not advisable as methane gas is harmful
How many atoms are in combust methane?
Methane - CH4 - has 5 atoms.
Does methane spontaneously combust?
No, methane itself does not spontaneously combust. However, in the presence of oxygen and an ignition source, such as a spark, methane can ignite and burn.
What products are formed when hydrocarbon combust?
Water vapors and methane gas are released.
Will methane gas combust and raise steam temperature further if added to steam 600 degrees C in a chamber?
Yes, if methane gas is added to steam at 600 degrees Celsius in a combustion chamber, the methane can combust to further raise the temperature of the steam. This process can yield more heat energy and increase the overall temperature of the system.
Why methane does not react with oxygen at room temp?
Methane and oxygen do react with each other at room temperature, but the reaction requires an input of energy to get started. Once the reaction begins, it is exothermic and produces heat and water as byproducts. This reaction typically needs a spark or flame to initiate it, which is why methane does not spontaneously combust in air at room temperature.
Giving balance equation state how you will convert methane to carbon dioxide?
The balanced equation for the conversion of methane (CH4) to carbon dioxide (CO2) is: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O To convert methane to carbon dioxide, you would need to combust methane in the presence of oxygen, which will produce carbon dioxide and water as products.
Why doesn't a match spontaneously combust?
A match can't spontaneously combust because it need someone or something to strike it. It can't combust on it's own TRC
What gives krypton the ability to combust?
You are mistaken. The element krypton is a noble gas, which does not combust.
Will the mercury metal combust?
no!
Can paint thinner spontaneously combust?
Yes, paint thinner can spontaneously combust if exposed to heat or a spark in certain conditions.

Does faeces spontaneously combust?
It is not possible.
