Question

combustion and substitution reaction in the carbon compounds by taking Methane as a example and write the chemical equation for the above reaction can Methane subjected to addition reaction? give reason
​

Answer 1

Answer:

When electricity is passed through the aqueous solution of sodium or potassium salt of the monocarboxylic acid, the alkane is formed. This reaction is called Kolbe's electrolysis. Metal carbide like Aluminium carbide (Al4C3) or Berrylium carbide (Be2C) is treated with water, methane gas is formed

Answer 2

Answer:

Methane is a Single Carbon Alkane. It is the first member of the homologous serious of alkanes.

Formula - CH4

It undergoes Combustion being a carbon compound as well as Substitution being a saturated Hydrocarbon.

It cannot undergo Addition reaction.

Combustion reaction:

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + Heat and Light

Substitution reaction:

Methane undergoes substitution reaction in the presence of sunlight.

Chlorination of methane can be written as -

CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl

CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl

CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl

CHCl3 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl

Can Methane be subjected to Addition reaction?

No, Methane being a saturated Hydrocarbon cannot add more hydrogen to its compound.
