The combustion of methane or octane is exothermic; it releases energy.
Q. What type of equation is this when methane gas CH4 reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water?
When methane (CH4) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is CH4(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g) This type of reaction is referred to as a complete combustion reaction.

Q. What type of reaction is methane gas and oxygen gas?
The combustion of methane or octane is exothermic; it releases energy. CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O + energy The energies of the products are lower than the energiies of the reactants.
Q. What is the use of combustion of methane?
Methane combustion (see simulation at bottom of page) provides a significant fraction of the world’s primary energy, and is used for home heating, cooking food, heating water, and electrical generation. It can even provide energy for transportation.
Q. What are the dangers of methane?
High levels of methane can reduce the amount of oxygen breathed from the air. This can result in mood changes, slurred speech, vision problems, memory loss, nausea, vomiting, facial flushing and headache. In severe cases, there may be changes in breathing and heart rate, balance problems, numbness, and unconsciousness.
Q. Why does my wife fart so much?
Say that you’re willing to help her find the cause, since frequent flatulence doesn’t usually occur without a reason. Excessive gas can signal easily manageable causes, such as lactose intolerance and specific reactions to some foods (e.g. beans, cabbage), or to some laxatives and ibuprofen.
Q. What drinks make you fart?
SODA AND SELTZER WATER Carbonated drinks can make you gassy because they cause you to swallow extra air, which gets trapped in your GI tract, says Myers. That air eventually has to be released, and the only way out is in the form of gas. If you must have a fizzy beverage, go with a sugar-free seltzer.
