Nope--both methane and the match itself need oxygen to burn.

it could basically be defined experimentally through fact for a spark oxygen isn't required. Then the 2d area is that if there's a spark, will methane bypass right into a chemical reaction? additionally want suggestions like what is going to take place if metane is heated up in a oxygen loose atmosphere.

The gas is explosive at mixture of from about 18 to 23 percent gas.
Just don't try to light a match when you smell gas. How would you know what the mix was.

No. Theoretically, if there is no air, there is no oxygen. Oxygen is required for the ignition or combustion of match.

yes. you can't completely take out oxygen unless you are in a vacuum. and I don't think you are talking about a vacuum. a match will light as long as there is something for it to be struck against. I just wouldn't want to be the one doing the lighting.
