Question

Write the balanced chemical equation for Preparation of methane from Iodomethane.

Answer 1

Balanced chemical equation for Preparation of methane from Iodomethane.

Iodomethane (${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{I}$) reacts with hydrogen iodide ($\mathrm{HI}$) to produce methane (${\mathrm{CH}}_4$) And iodine (${\mathrm{I}}_2$).

The Chemical equation is given below:

$\underset{\mathrm{Iodomethane}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{I}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Hydrogen}\mathrm{iodide}}{\mathrm{HI}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Methane}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_4\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Iodine}}{{\mathrm{I}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$
