Question

Gas hydrates are compact chemical structures made of natural gas and
A. halite.
B. water.
C. manganese.
D. petroleum.

Answer 1

Answer:

                  Option-B (water) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

                 Gas hydrates are made up of Solid-Ice water and a natural gas like Methane gas trapped in the lattice of ice water. Gas hydrates are mainly found deep down in the sea where the atmospheric pressure is greater than 1 atm.

Generally Gas hydrates have two main applications. 

                             a) It stabilizes the sea floor other wise its melting will cause land sliding in sea floor. 

                             b) Secondly, it traps a green house gases like Methane, if released these gases could produce Climate changes.

Answer 2

Answer:

B) water

Explanation:

Gas hydrates are essentially crystalline solid cage like structures in which small molecules are trapped in a network of frozen water molecules. The trapped gas molecules are usually methane which is a natural gas.

These methane hydrates are formed when methane and water combine under high pressure conditions usually prevalent in the ocean floors. Gas hydrates are also regarded as a powerful candidates for the production of  cleaner energy.
