Answered by bobpursley
in this case, water is in gaseous form.

CH4(g)+O2 (g)>>>CO2(g) + H2O(g)

@Bobpursley sir.. so it means that we need to separate carbon dioxide and steam.. right?
Answered by DrBob222
That's right. Think what temperature H2O condenses from gas to liquid (or freezes to a solid) vs temperature CO2 condenses from gas to solid.
Answered by saurav
what is the process of separation?
Answered by saurav
ok. what do we need to do after both of the gases have been liquified???
Answered by saurav
can we do it this way : keep the mixture at less than 100 degree C , then the steam will condense into liquid water and co2 stays as gas
