Let's Start with the Basics
 
  • The Chemical formula of Methane is CH4
  • The Molar Mass is 16.0g
  • Melting Point is -182.5 °C
  • Boiling Point is -161.6 °C
  • Gas density at boiling point : 1.819 kg/m3
  • Gas density above 15 °C (59 °F) : 0.68 kg/m3
  • Methane is the simplest Hydrocarbon Alkane ( Alkanes are molecules that consist of only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms single bonded)
  • Methane makes up about 70-90% of natural gas
