It's a mixture of hydrogen, carbon and other 'trace' elements. Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium. All is removed from the methane before it is used. We have from 250-100 years of natural gas left depending of the amount of usage.

Is natural gas a mixture or a compound or an element?
IT IS A MIXTURE =] dumbo!
Is natural gas a compound?
No, it is a mixture consisting mainly of hydrocarbons.
What type of pipe is indicated by a red line?
natural gas line
What is the Percentage range of lel and uel for natural gas?
The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of natural gas (which is primarily methane). is 5% by volume in air. The Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) is 15% by volume in air
When can volume fraction be equal to mole fraction?
The volume fraction of a substance is equal to the mole fraction for ideal gas mixture

Is natural gas a mixture?
yes it is xx
Is natural gas element or mixture or compound?
Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily methane, with small amounts of other gases like ethane, propane, and butane. It is not a compound because it does not consist of different elements chemically bonded together, but rather a mixture of different gases.
What is a scientific name for natural gas?
Natural gas is a mixture and, as a result, does not have a scientific name. It consists mainly of methane.
Is natural gas a compound?
No, it is a mixture consisting mainly of hydrocarbons.
How helium could be separated from the mixture of gases in natural gas?
distillation
Is ethane a natural gas?
Yes, ethane is a component of natural gas. When natural gas is extracted from the ground, it typically contains a mixture of gases such as methane, ethane, propane, and others. Ethane is separated from the natural gas during the refining process.
Why is natural gas a mixture?
Natural gas is a mixture because it is composed of different gases, primarily methane but also containing small amounts of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane, as well as non-hydrocarbon gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen. These gases are naturally occurring and are extracted together from underground reservoirs, resulting in the mixture that we refer to as natural gas.
Why is natural a mixture?
Because an example of a mixture is air, oxygen etc. Obviously, these are all gases. Therefore, Gas is a mixture. Hope I helped! :)
What is the chemical formula of heating gas?
Assuming by heating gas you mean "natural" gas, the the formula would be CH4 which is methane. Natural gas is mostly methane with some other combustible hydrocarbons added in.
What is the gas form of fossil fuels?
natural gas
Are there any uses of alkanes?
yes, natural gas is a mixture of alkanes, but mainly methan.
