Describe the appearance of the flame when methane reacts with plenty of oxygen
Chemistry
ScanSolve AI Answer
When methane reacts with plenty of oxygen, it undergoes complete combustion. The flame produced is typically blue, non-luminous, and hot. This is because there is sufficient oxygen to fully oxidize the methane, preventing the formation of soot (unburnt carbon particles) that would otherwise make the flame yellow and luminous.
