Why alkene gives more soot than alkane?
Comparing ethane and ethene . there proportionally more hydrogens in ethane. Conversely there are proportionally more carbons in ethene. Ethane C:H:: 1:3 or 1/3 : 1 Ethene C:H :: 1:2 or 1/2 : 1 Since the fraction '1/2' > 1/3' then more carbon (soot).
What are short chain alkanes?
Cx = the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. Methane would be C1.According to the EPA (http://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/documents/1999polychloroalkanes.pdf), "The normal paraffin fractions that are most commonly used in the manufacture of polychlorinated alkanes are short chain (C10 to C13, average C12), intermediate chain (C14 to C19, average C15), and long chain (C20 to C30, average C24) fractions." I've also seen people state any alkane between C2 and C4 - all the alkanes whose names don't contain the number of carbon atoms in their longest chain, written in Greek - is a short chain alkane, and another of our esteemed members defines them as alkanes from C2 to C6. IOW, what a short chain alkane is depends on the branch of chemistry you practice; a chemist in a polymer lab has a different view of the world than one in a fuels lab.Methane is not a short chain alkane because it isn't a chained alkane; chains have multiple links, which in alkanes are carbon molecules.
Is butane gas less volatile than propane?
Yes, the molecular mass of propane is 44 while that of butane is 58, higher is the molecular mass of an alkane higher would be the boiling point therefore less would be the volatility.
Does nuclear fusion convert oxygen to hydrogen?
No. Nuclear fusion will convert hydrogen to helium and, at higher temperatures, oxygen into silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur.
What Is necessary to convert higher voltage power to low voltage power?
A transformer
Can AR-15 convert to a higher caliber?
Yes, if you replace the upper receiver.
Why is acid anhydride having higher boiling point than alkane?
Molecules with dipoles have higher boiling points because they are able to form strong dipole-dipole interactions with other molecules. Alkanes are nonpolar and only have weak London dispersion forces, thus lower boiling points.
Why are gasoline and propane removed near the top of a distillation tower?
Smaller alkane molecule have higher vapor pressure. They 'cook off' first from a mixture and will be found nearer the top of the distillation column than the larger ones.
Do long hydrocarbons have a higher boiling point then short hydrocarbons?
This is true as far as we are talking about alkanes. As the size of an alkane chain increases the boiling point increases because the relatively low van der Waals forces increase with mass. The higher the vdw forces the more energy required to break apart two molecules and thus higher boiling points.
What doas paraffin mean?
1.a white or colorless, tasteless, odorless, water-insoluble, solid substance not easily acted upon by reagents, consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons chiefly of the alkane series, obtained from crude petroleum: used in candles, for forming preservative coatings and seals, for waterproofing paper, etc. 2.Chemistry .a.any member of the alkane series. b.one of the higher members of the alkane series, solid at ordinary temperatures, having a boiling point above 300°C, which largely constitutes the commercial form of this substance. 3.Also called paraffin oil . British . kerosene.
How do boys shoe sizes convert to mens?
Boy's shoe sizes convert to men's shoe sizes after the size 13. The way in which the feet convert is by the width and the length. The width is measured with a letter. The higher the letter in the alphabet the wider your feet. The higher the number the longer.
What are the two main components of liquefied petroleum gas?
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) contains either mostly propane, mostly butane, or a combination that is mostly propane and butane in an approximately 3-to-2 mixture. Propane is an alkane, C3H8. Butane is also an alkane, C4H10. A link can be found below.
