When a mixture of methane and oxygen is passed through heated molybdenum oxide, the main product formed is :
Updated On: Sep 24, 2024
- Methanol
- Methanal
- Methanoic acid
- Ethanal
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A mixture of methane and oxygen when passed through the heated molybdenum oxide, the formation of methanal takes place.
$C H _{4}+ O _{2} \stackrel{\text { Mo-oxide }}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\text { Methanal }}{ H C H O }+ H _{2} O$
This method is used for the manufacture of methanal by controlled oxidation of methane in the air in presence of various metallic oxides as a catalyst.
$C H _{4}+ O _{2} \stackrel{\text { Mo-oxide }}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\text { Methanal }}{ H C H O }+ H _{2} O$
This method is used for the manufacture of methanal by controlled oxidation of methane in the air in presence of various metallic oxides as a catalyst.

Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons can be described as organic compounds that consists only hydrogen and carbon atoms. These compounds are of different types and thereby have distinct natures. Hydrocarbons are colorless gases and are known for discharging faint odours. These have been categorized under four major classes named as alkynes, alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Types of Hydrocarbons
- Saturated hydrocarbons - Saturated hydrocarbons are those compounds where there is a single bond exists between carbon atoms and are saturated with atoms of hydrogen.
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons - Hydrocarbons comprises of at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms are known as unsaturated hydrocarbons.
- Aliphatic hydrocarbons - The term denotes the hydrocarbons formed as an outcome of the chemical degradation of fats. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are basically chemical compounds.
- Aromatic hydrocarbons - They are distinguished because of the presence of benzene rings in them. They give away distinct types of aroma. These hydrocarbons comprises of only hydrogen and carbon atoms.
