Natural Gas

Basically, it is extremely difficult to get solids to burn. It is even somewhat difficult to get liquids to burn! Gasses burn. Heat turns liquids or solids to gasses and then they burn. In a car engine, fuel injectors turn the gasoline into a fine spray which quickly evaporates into a gas. It then burns.

Coal does not burn. A fire heats coal. Then coal gives off gasses. The gasses burn. Then the coal gets hotter. As the coal gets hotter, some of the carbon in the coal turns to gaseous carbon, some of the carbon does not, those flakes of carbon become soot. The carbon gas burns. Some stuff simply is left.

Natural gas is found underground in rock formations, often alongside oil deposits. It can also be found in coal beds and in the form of methane hydrates beneath the ocean floor. Extracting natural gas involves drilling wells and using methods such as hydraulic fracturing or horizontal drilling.

First, check if your gas supply is connected and turned on. Next, verify that the dryer's thermal fuse, gas valve solenoid coils, and igniter are functioning properly. If these components are working, the issue may lie with the gas valve or thermostat. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a professional technician.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is predominantly composed of methane. It is considered a non-renewable energy resource because it is formed over millions of years from the decomposition of organic matter deep within the Earth's crust.

The pH refers to the acidity or alkalinity of water. Therefore, your question is not directly answerable.

However, if natural gas is released to the atmosphere, the nitrogen, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide can combine with water to form nitric acid, carboxyl acid and sulfurous and sulfuric acids, so the acidity of water with these compounds would be acidic. I can not tell you how acidic the water would be as it would depend on how much of these inert compounds were in the gas, but all acids have a pH of less than 7.

The odorant used in natural gas to give it a distinctive scent is called mercaptan. It was first introduced by chemist William Matheson in the 1930s to help detect leaks and prevent accidents due to the odorless nature of natural gas.

Natural gas is considered a gas because it exists in a gaseous state at room temperature and pressure. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, mainly methane, and is lighter than air. This allows it to disperse quickly into the atmosphere.

Natural gas is a colorless and odorless mixture primarily composed of methane. It is lighter than air and highly flammable. It burns cleanly with blue flame when ignited.

Most of the hydrogen used by industry, as rocket fuel, and for fuel cell powered cars is extracted from oil and natural gas.

This actually makes the supposedly "clean" fuel cell powered car pretty much as polluting as ordinary cars (as far as carbon emissions are concerned). It would be much better if the hydrogen was extracted by electrolysis of water using electricity from nuclear power, hydroelectric, wind, etc. sources instead!

Natural gas is mainly methane with some small amount of ethane, propane and butane. Heavier components, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are removed before distribution to users.

Natural gas, which is largely methane, releases less carbon dioxide when burnt than the other fossil fuels, coal and oil. So it is the least polluting of the fossil fuels.

However, natural gas, or methane, is released into the atmosphere by belching cattle, anaerobic decomposition in landfills, and melting tundra and lake beds. It is a greenhouse gas 21 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide, so when it escapes into the atmosphere, it is very polluting.

A 40-pound LP tank typically holds around 9.5 gallons of propane and has a heating value of 91,502 BTU/gallon. With a 36,000 BTU gas log set, you can estimate that the tank will last approximately 2-3 weeks if the log set is running continuously. However, actual usage time will vary based on factors such as the efficiency of the gas log set and how often it is used.

Chemicals made from oil or natural gas are commonly referred to as petrochemicals. These substances are derived from petroleum or natural gas and are used in a wide range of products, including plastics, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals.

Natural gas itself cannot be "recycled" in the traditional sense like glass or plastic. However, the infrastructure used to extract and distribute natural gas can be repurposed for other energy sources or technologies. Additionally, efforts can be made to minimize waste and leakage during the extraction and distribution process.

Methane makes up about 90% of natural gas.

Biogas typically contains methane (around 50-70%), carbon dioxide (around 30-50%), and small amounts of other gases such as hydrogen sulfide, water vapor, and nitrogen. The exact composition can vary depending on the feedstock and the efficiency of the biogas production process.

14 inches equals one pound of natural gas pressure

The heat content of natural gas can vary depending on its composition, but on average, 1 cubic foot of natural gas contains about 1,050 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of heat energy.

Petroleum and natural gas form from organic matter, such as plankton and algae, that is buried and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years in Earth's crust. The decomposition of this organic matter under high temperatures and pressures creates hydrocarbons, which eventually accumulate in reservoirs underground.

Some disadvantages of natural gas include its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions when burned, the potential for leaks in pipelines leading to safety hazards, and the environmental impacts associated with extraction methods such as fracking. Additionally, natural gas is a finite resource and its price can be subject to fluctuations.

Biogas can be used as fuel because it is a renewable energy source produced from the breakdown of organic matter, such as sewage, agricultural waste, and food scraps. It is a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping to mitigate climate change. Additionally, biogas production helps in waste management by converting organic waste into energy.

Natural gas was first discovered in ancient China, where it was used as a source of fuel for lighting and heating. In the modern era, natural gas was discovered in the United States in the early 19th century while drilling for oil in Pennsylvania. Since then, natural gas has become an important energy source globally.

Most natural gas is burned for electricity generation and heating in homes and businesses. It is also used as a fuel in industrial processes, such as in manufacturing and in the production of chemicals.

1 ppm of mercaptan in 1 million standard cubic feet (mscf) of natural gas would be equivalent to 1 pound of mercaptan.
