What is the most important chemical reaction of the alkanes?
combustion
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
What will happen if the amount of combustion drops?
what will happen if the amount of combustion in earth drops?
What will happen if the air is limited during the combustion?
If limited then combustion is reduced, if totally restricted then there's no combustion at all
What organic compound that contains only single bonds?
Saturated aliphatic compounds or alkanes have only C-C single bonds.
What is the most important chemical reaction of the alkanes?
combustion
What is the heat of combustion for decane?
The heat of combustion for decane is 6779 kJ / mol. Heat of combustion increases with chain length of alkanes.
What is the equation for combustion of alkanes?
Ch4+2o2--->co2+2h2o+heat
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
What are 3 uses of alkanes?
Three uses of alkanes are:used as organic solvents in labs when in liquid formused as a general anaestheticused as fuels because a large amount of energy is released when alkanes undergo combustion.
Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.
What will happen if the amount of combustion drops?
what will happen if the amount of combustion in earth drops?
Why alkanes do not react with bromine water?
No, bromine will only add to alkenes, so NO addition reaction to alkanes. Subtitution on alkanes is not possible at standard conditions
What are hydrocarbons with only a single bond called?
A type of hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms connected only by a single bond is called saturated hydrocarbon. It is the simplest form of the hydrocarbon species.
What are the product of completely combustion of alkene?
Complete oxidation of alkanes by oxygen yeilds carbon dioxide and water. Alkanes oxidation by O2, (CxH2x+2) + O2 = x CO2 + x+1 H2O. With Halogens it would be CyH2y+2 + X2 = CyX2y+2 + (y+2) HX. Carbon Carbon bonds often do not break in halogen oxidation. "often"
What are the hazards of alkanes?
If there is plenty of oxygen, the carbon gets converted completely to carbon dioxide and the hydrogen gets converted completely to water. This is complete combustion and the alkane would burn with a clean flame. If there is insufficient oxygen, there is incomplete combustion and some of the carbon does not get converted completely and ends up as soot. This results in a very smoky and sooty flame and is inefficient.
What will happen if the air is limited during the combustion?
If limited then combustion is reduced, if totally restricted then there's no combustion at all
