Question

Why don't we use oxygen gas instead of methane gas for cooking?​

Answer 1

Answer:

While multiple chemical compounds are found in natural gas, methane makes up anywhere from 50% to 90% of this energy resource. Multi-purpose methane has many uses, from cooking and heating fuel to the manufacture of bricks, cement, fertilizer, and plastics. It's also used to dry cereals and fruits.

Answer 2

Explanation:
