Question

Take methane as an example and discribe the reaction and ordering functions of carbon compounds, and write the chemical equation for these reactions can methene be added to the condensation reactions? specify

Answer 1

Explanation:

Methane is the first compound of the alkane family and is one simple hydrocarbon.Its chemical formula is CH4

Some chemical reactions of Methane are as follows;

Oxidation

Methane undergoes partial oxidation to methanol releasing CO2 and H20

Acid / Base Reactions

Methane is a very weak acid and this is true for other hydrocarbons as well.

Halogenation

Methane reacts with halogen radicals and this is called free radical process

Methane condensation reaction;

Methane + carbon == condensation reaction

Answer 2

CH₄[g] + 2O₂[g] → CO₂[g] + 2H₂O

Explanation:  

• Methane is an organic molecule composed of carbon and hydrogen.
• Among the alkanes, methane is the simplest molecule or a starting molecule having one carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms.

Combustion reaction  -

• Methane reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide gas and water.
• Sometimes, there is incomplete combustion and forms carbon monoxide.

• The equation is as follows -

       CH₄[g] + 2O₂[g] → CO₂[g] + 2H₂O[steam] + 891kJ

Halogenation reaction -

• Halogenation reactions occur when a halogen reacts with methane to form a methyl halide.

• The equation is as follows -

       $CH_4 + Cl_2$ → $CH_3Cl + HCl$

       $CH_3Cl + Cl_2$ → $CH_2Cl_2 + HCl$

       $CH_2Cl_2 + Cl_2$ → $CHCl_3 + HCl$

       $CHCl_3 + Cl_2$ → $CCl_4 + HCl$
