Methane Combustion
This reaction commonly occurs in gas stoves. It is very useful in
cooking since methane ignites easily and the gas is abundant. This gas can be found in almost every gas stove. It can also be used to power combustion engines.
Methane- Can be used as fuel and to power combustion engines
History of Methane
Methane- Can be found in fossil fuel production, livestock farming, landfills and waste, biomass burning, rice farming, bio-fuels, natural sources, wetlands, and oceans.
Liquid
Gas
Oxygen- Used in cellular respiration, welding, steel and iron production, and medical treatment
You can prove that combustion of methane has taking place when methane is ignited and CO and 2H O are the products of the reaction.
Methane was discovered by Alessandro Volta in November
1766. He heard about "flammable air" after reading Benjamin Franklin's newspaper and was inspired to search for the substance at Lake Maggiore. He captured the gas from the marshes and even isolated the gas by 1778. He also demonstrated to ignite the gas with an electric spark.
Methane is a hazardous compound because it can cause the following
By Marshall Wong
Oxygen- Can be found in plants and algae through photosynthesis, the air, or the atmosphere
Safety Precautions
Carbon dioxide is an colorless gas and is non toxic. However, this gas can be deadly when it causes asphyxiation.
Carbon dioxide can also be in the form of dry ice

The Law of Conservation of mass states that matter cannot created nor destroyed. This relates to the balanced chemical reaction because matter is not being created nor destroyed in this reaction. The reaction is taking the elements from the reactants and rearranging them to form new structures.
Carbon Dioxide- Can be used for beverage carbonation, greenhouse growing, reezing and chilling, respiratory stimulant, hydrauling fracturing, and welding processes
Carbon Dioxide- Can mainly be found in the burning of fossil fuels, natural sources such as plants or volcanoes, plant and animal respiration, and volcanic eruptions.
You know that the combustion of methane has taken place when methane is ignited and an explosion or flame is created
Water- Water has been used for thermoelectric power, irrigation, domestic use, industrial use, aquaculture, and other public uses
Water- Sources of water include rain water, surface water (lakes, oceans, ect.) and underground water
