Compound Q&A
How is methane (CAS: 68213-23-0) typically synthesized?
Answer
Methane (CAS: 68213-23-0) is primarily obtained through natural gas extraction or via steam reforming of natural gas. In steam reforming, methane is produced from a mixture of hydrogen and carbon compounds under high temperature and pressure. Catalysts such as nickel are commonly used to improve the efficiency and selectivity of the reaction.
