CH4 + Cl2 = CH3Cl + HCl (in presence of sun light)
CH3Cl + Na/ether = CH3-CH3 + NaCl (ethane) this reaction is called wurtz reaction.........
this is not possible yet..scientists have discovered an enzyme that can convert ethane to methane..however, if u take indirect route ..then its possible..
No. Ethane and methane are both examples of molecular compounds.
methane and butane methane and Ethane
Oxidation
Methane Ethane Propane Butane
convert ethyne into ethane
Methane Or Ethane Or Butane Or Hexane
methane and ethane
Methane, ethane, propane, etc
Monohalogenation of methane, followed by Wurtz reaction.
It is presumed to be mainly methane and possibly ethane
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.
