In the reaction, the bonds in the methane and oxygen molecule come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide. The little number written at the lower right after an ...

For a start, the reaction isn’t very efficient. To make methane, hydrogen has to be produced via water electrolysis before being mixed with carbon dioxide, but combining these two processes ...

Methanol is metabolized into the natural gas methane by many microbes living under Earth’s surface, but its source has been unclear. It emerges that some bacteria convert formate molecules into ...

On one hand, there are known chemical reactions that can take the molecules known to exist on Mars and turn them into methane. For example, liquid water interacting with magnesium- and iron-rich ...

When the solvent evaporates, the phosphorous combines with oxygen in an exothermic reaction. The demonstration shown in this video is very dangerous. Do not attempt to perform this demonstration. The ...
