Where does this energy come from once the hydrocarbons release a lot of energy when ignited?
This is the heat of combustion.
What property of hydrocarbons that make them useful as fuel?
the advantages are that it gives of heat and energy. the disadvantages are that it is not easily stored
What is produced after a fire?
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
What atmospheric compounds affect the ability of heat to escape from earth?
All the substances in the air provide insulation and retain heat. Water vapour, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons are examples of effective ones.
Which two things are needed to crack hydrocarbons?
Heat and Alkenes
Why do you think cracking is called a thermal decomposition reaction?
heat is used to decompose long chain hydrocarbons into shorter chain hydrocarbons.
What substances does fuel usually contain?
Most fuels are based on hydrocarbons. When hydrocarbons are burned (oxidized), a significant amount of chemical energy is released in the form of heat.
What are the three components that are needed to form fossil fuels?
Heat, Pressure, Hydrocarbons, time
Where does this energy come from once the hydrocarbons release a lot of energy when ignited?
This is the heat of combustion.
What property of hydrocarbons that make them useful as fuel?
the advantages are that it gives of heat and energy. the disadvantages are that it is not easily stored
How did hydrocarbons get so far underground?
Through the process of subsidence materials, in this case plant remains are literally buried. They do not start out as hydrocarbons, but are formed through moderate heat, pressure and chemical changes.
Why is gasoline a chemical energy?
Gasoline is a combination of several hydrocarbons which when oxidized (chemical reaction) release heat energy.
What is produced after a fire?
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
Are epoxies classed as hydrocarbons?
They are not hydrocarbons.
What is hydrocarbon gas?
An example of a hydrocarbon is methane. Like all hydrocarbons, it is composed entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are used for fuel. When burned in combination with oxygen, hydrocarbons give off energy in the form of heat while combining with the oxygen to become carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
