Abstract There are some problems in the experiment of preparing methane gas by grinding and mixing sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide and calcium oxide, such as slow reaction rate, low yield, easy cracking and difficult cleaning of test tube. Based on this, the solvent mixing method can achieve rapid and efficient preparation of methane gas and solve rupture and difficult cleaning problems for tubes. This method essentially solves the shortcomings of the preparation of methane gas, and can be effectively applied to chemical experiments.
