for converting methyl bromide to methane let's take an example of methyl halide in place of methyl bromide....as bromine is also a halogen.....so....
Methane (CH4) can be obtained from methyl halide (CH4-X)by reduction with LiAlH4 or other hydride reducing agents.
X-any halogen.

Methyl bromide ( CHBr ) can be converted into methane ( CH
) by following step of reactions -
(i). React methyl bromide ( CHBr ) with magnesium Mg in the presence of dry ether , methyl magnesium bromide ( CH
MgBr ) is formed .
(ii). React methyl magnesium bromide ( CHMgBr ) with water ( H
O ) , methane ( CH
) is formed .
The chemical equation is -
CHBr + Mg → CH
MgBr
CHMgBr + H
O → CH
- The molar mass of methane ( CH
) is 16.04 g / mol .
