How does CH3COONa produce CH4 - Chemical Reaction Balance
CH4 named Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon in the alkane homologous series. It is also known as swamp gas, mud gas.
Under normal conditions, methane is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas. Insoluble in water. is the main component of petroleum, so of course it often appears when we exploit and distill petroleum. CH4 is very toxic and dangerous to human health.
It is flammable and can react with air to form flammable and explosive products. There are quite a few cases of poisoning caused by methane. so please be careful
CH3COONa is the sodium salt of acetic acid named Sodium acetate odorless white powder.
So to make CH4 from CH3COONa we do the following: heat anhydrous sodium acetate with caustic soda.
Chemical equation :
CH3COONa + NaOH → CH4 + Na2CO3
