Will ethane cause global warming?

No, it won't cause global warming, but it adds to it in a small way. Ethane (C2H6) is a gas derived from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), like methane. When burnt it also releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas. Ethane itself is also a greenhouse gas, though not as potent as methane. There are low levels of ethane in the atmosphere, as the sun's photochemical action turns some methane into ethane.


How do you derive the formula of ethane?

The formula of ethane is C₂H₆. This is derived by understanding the structure of ethane, which consists of two carbon atoms bonded to each other with single covalent bonds and each carbon atom is bonded to three hydrogen atoms. Thus, the molecular formula is C₂H₆.


Is CH2O a alkane?
