objective of the experiment was to verify the molar volume of a gas and gas constant.¹ The method in which was used to determine the volume of H2 gas at standard temperature and pressure and the gas constant was to measure a strip of magnesium and place it inside the gas buret which contained hydrochloric acid‚ blue dye and distilled water and allow the reaction to occur. Once the reaction was complete and there were no visible gas bubbles‚ the volume was obtained and recorded. This procedure was

SINKHOLES Methane Gas Hydrates Scientists at Cardiff University have discovered the presence of large concentrations of methane gas trapped in the ocean floor. This gas is due to dying and decomposing sea organisms‚ or serpentinization. The sediment contains bacteria that produce methane‚ which accumulates as super concentrated methane ice‚ called gas hydrates. The layer of ice traps the methane gas‚ and scientists are studying it as a potential energy source. What is methane? Methane

deciding what kind of vehicle to purchase. The consumers can choose between gas‚ electric‚ diesel‚ and propane. The most common cars are fuels (gas/diesel) and electric.

Natural gas accounts for around 10% share of the overall energy consumption in India. Widening demand and supply gap has resulted in increasing natural gas imports in the form of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). The natural gas imports are expected to rise significantly over the next five years. The rising concern of Green House Gas emissions and low price of natural gas is driving the demand for natural gas in India. Government is promoting natural gas production in India by introducing new pricing
