How does the chain length of Hydrocarbons change their properties?
The flammability DECREASES as the chain length increases. Methane (C1) is natural gas and by definition very flammable. C20 is basically paraffin wax and it will burn but with much greater difficulty.
How does the volatility of a hydrocarbon change as its carbon chain length increases?
it decreases as the molecules get higher
Is flammability of a substance a chemical or physical change?
Flammability is a chemical property not a change; burning is a chemical change.
How does adding a double or trible bond change the shape of the carbon backbone in a hydrocarbon?
you have dr.whelan huh
Is combustion a chemcial change?
Combustion clearly is a chemical change. In the combustion of a hydrocarbon, for example, you begin with the hydrocarbon and after combustion you end up with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This demonstrates that a chemical change has taken place.
Is flammability of a blanket a chemical change or chemical property?
Flammability is a chemical property; burning is a change.
Is flammability is physical reaction?
Burning is a chemical change, flammability is a chemical property.
Why is melting the property of the wax but flammability is a chemical property?
The answer is simple: flammability involve a chemical change.
Is flammability a physical properity?
Flammability is a chemical property because the matter undergoes a chemical change (change in the make-up molecules) when it is burned.
What is a chemical change in a candle?
Most candles are made from a hydrocarbon called parafin; it burns, producing carbon dioxide and water vapor.
How does melting point change as the number of carbon- carbon double bonds increase?
As the number of carbon-carbon double bonds increases, the melting point decreases.
Is an flammability physical or chemical change?
it's a chemical change lol
