Study of two methane combustions
M.C.Q.: Choose the correct answer(s)
🇫🇷 French Version
Methane
Methane is city gas. It is a fuel. It is made of methane molecules with the formula CH
4
.
This molecule contains one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
Model of the methane molecule and methane pictograms
Complete methane combustion
Incomplete methane combustion
1.
The flame is yellow when methane combustion is:
complete
incomplete
2.
The collar is open when methane combustion is:
complete
incomplete
3.
Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas that forms when methane combustion is:
complete
incomplete
4.
The chemical substance that enters and leaves the flame created by methane combustion is:
methane
dioxygen
dinitrogen
5.
The reactants of methane combustion are:
water
dinitrogen
dioxygen
carbon dioxide
carbon
methane
carbon monoxide
6.
The products of complete methane combustion are:
water
dinitrogen
dioxygen
carbon dioxide
carbon
methane
carbon monoxide
7.
The products of incomplete methane combustion are:
water
dinitrogen
dioxygen
carbon dioxide
carbon
methane
carbon monoxide
8.
The following diagram represents the chemical test for:
water
dioxygen
carbon dioxide
carbon
9.
The following test shows that:
the lighter contains carbon dioxide
the lighter does not contain carbon dioxide
butane does not turn limewater cloudy
Remark:
Butane and carbon dioxide are denser than air.
ρ
Air
= 1.2 g/L
ρ
Butane
= 2.3 g/L
ρ
Carbon dioxide
= 1.8 g/L
10.
The following test shows that:
the lighter contains carbon
when butane burns, carbon dioxide is formed
when butane burns, carbon is formed
