Correct option is B
Methane gas:
· Methane, which has the chemical formula CH4, is the simplest of the saturatedhydrocarbons. The simplest alkane is composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
· Atmospheric methane, which can be found both below the seafloor and above ground, is produced when natural methane reaches the surface of the atmosphere.
· It has no color, has no smell, or smells like sweet oil. It is a gas that is not harmful but can burn. It is a molecule with four equivalent C-H bonds and a tetrahedral shape.
· Anaerobes in the colon make it. In 1776, Italian physicist Alessandro Volta was the first to scientifically identify methane.
Combustion of methane gas
· The term "combustible" refers to the possibility of burning methane. Methane and oxygen undergo a chemical reaction in this process.
· A lot of energy, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the byproducts of this reaction.
· To represent the combustion of methane, chemists would write: CH4[g] + 2 O2[g] -> CO2[g] + 2 H2O[l] + 891 kJ
