Methane is one of the simpler hydrocarbon gasses and is desigated as a compound CH4. The gas is found trapped in layers of the ground along with other gasses and is drilled for by energy companies such as Shell, Exon Mobil etc. It is also a byproduct of digestive processes in animals. Thus it can be found in the digestive tract of cows most oftenly mentioned, but also humans. Watch out where you strike that match.

∙ 15y agoMethane is CH4 and it's flammable. Carbon dioxide is CO2 and one of its uses is extinguishing methane fires. So...no.

∙ 11y agoCH4 is the formula for a hydrocarbon named methane. It does contain carbon, as indicated by the presence of the atomic symbol for carbon, a capital letter C, in the formula.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes. Evey molecule of methane contains one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes. Methane is CH4, meaning each molecule contains 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo. An allotrope is a structural variant an element can take on when it is in elemental form. Methane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen.
Wiki User

What happens when natural gas undergoes combustion?
Natural gas is mainly composed of methane. When methane undergoes combustion, it produces water and CO2 . CH4 + 2O2 -------> CO2 + 2H2O
What happens when methane is being burned?
The chemical reaction of methane oxydation (burning) is: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O
What type of gas is Methane?
Methane gas is a greenhouse gas used in most industries. It is an alkane (compound with CO2 and hydrogen particles).
What is the word equation for methane burning in the air?
The reactants are methane CH4 and oxygen O2 and the products are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O
What are theses compounds CO2 CO CH4?
CO2- carbon dioxide. CO- carbon monoxide. CH4- methane.
What was the early atmosphere of earth like?
Unbreathable. Lots of CO2 and methane and hydrogen & no oxygen. Nitrogen was about the same.
What are human emissions?
CO2 and methane from our bodies.
What releases CO2 or Methane gas?
Your mother.
What waste gas does a copperhead produce?
CO2 and methane...
What happens when gas undergoes combustion?
Natural gas is mainly composed of methane. When methane undergoes combustion, it produces water and CO2 . CH4 + 2O2 -------> CO2 + 2H2O
What happens when Mathane burns in air?
MEthane or CH4 with complete combustion will turn into CO2 and H2O The formula for complete combustion of methane: CH4 + 2O2-> CO2 + 2H2O
What happens when natural gas undergoes combustion?
Natural gas is mainly composed of methane. When methane undergoes combustion, it produces water and CO2 . CH4 + 2O2 -------> CO2 + 2H2O
What types of gas do animals?
Methane and CO2 like us..
What happens when methane is being burned?
The chemical reaction of methane oxydation (burning) is: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O
What are the two important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)
What type of gas is Methane?
Methane gas is a greenhouse gas used in most industries. It is an alkane (compound with CO2 and hydrogen particles).
Why does methane undergo oxidation?
Methane , CH4 , is a fuel that can react with O2 to yield CO2, H2O, and heat. CH4 (g) + O2 (g) ----> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g) + Heat
