What are the reactants when methane burns in oxygen?
The reactants when methane burns in oxygen are methane and oxygen. The products are CO2, water and heat about 890 Kj/mole is given out. The equation is : CH4(g) + 2O2 _______> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat (-890 Kj/mole) When one mole of methane gas reacts with (burns in) 2 moles of oxygen gas we get 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water and 890 Kilo joules of heat is released. This reaction is exothermic as heat is released and a combustion reaction as methane gas is burned in free supply oxygen not limited supply otherwise carbon monoxide (CO) will be formed. Hope that helped you out. :-D
Why will methane not burn in air until a flame is applied?
The three elements that make a fire are fuel, oxygen and heat. The methane is the fuel, oxygen is present in the atmosphere and the flame provides the heat.
What happens when you burn methane?
The chemical reaction of methane oxydation (burning) is: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O
When coal is burned stored energy is being released in the form of?
Heat
What is hydrocarbon gas?
An example of a hydrocarbon is methane. Like all hydrocarbons, it is composed entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are used for fuel. When burned in combination with oxygen, hydrocarbons give off energy in the form of heat while combining with the oxygen to become carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Why is the reaction between methane and oxygen exothermic?
Burning release heat, the molecular structure of methane is destroyed and the bonding energy is released.
How do you know that there is energy stored in coal?
When it is burned in air (this is a chemical reaction with oxygen) energy is released as heat.
Why will methane not burn in air until a flame is applied?
The three elements that make a fire are fuel, oxygen and heat. The methane is the fuel, oxygen is present in the atmosphere and the flame provides the heat.
What is in fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned?
The heat is produced by the formation of chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen, and between hydrogen and oxygen. So CO2 and water are the necessary products when fossil fuel is burned, without which there would be no heat.
What is a methane digester?
•When methane is in the digester, it can be burned to heat your water or generate electricity. It is like lighting a match inside a balloon. You don't get the smells or the odors, meaning less fossil fuels are burned.
What is the word equation for methane burned in a Bunsen burner?
No it is not essential. It will burn in air or oxygen if ignited by some spark or match but there are many other ways to get burning in chemistry. The requirements for burning are fuel, oxygen and heat. Oxygen can be supplied by the air for many fires. Heat must often be introduced initially to ignite the fuel but the heat of combustion will then be enough to sustain the burning. Fuel could be methane but there are many other potential fuels in chemistry, for example hydrogen, propane, wood ... Many dry foodstuffs will burn in air if lit.
Which gas that are released from the human body gets fire when the oxygen is heat?
The gas that gets fire when heated with oxygen is methane. It is produced naturally in the human body as a byproduct of digestion and can ignite when exposed to an open flame or heat source.
Do I need oxygen and gas to properly heat borosilicate tubing?
Yes, propane (or methane) plus oxygen.
Is feces power sustainable?
technically yes as the gas given off buy most faeces human and animal is methane. Methane can be burned to create heat.
What if you burn methane and methyl alcohol which gives off more heat?
Methane gives off more heat. Burning something is an oxidation reaction. Energy is released by forming more and more bonds between carbon and oxygen. Since methyl alcohol already has a C-O bond, it is already more oxidized than methane, so burning methyl alcohol releases less energy (heat) than burning methane (mole for mole).
What happens when you burn methane?
The chemical reaction of methane oxydation (burning) is: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O
