Are longer chain alkanes more flammable than shorter chain alkanes?
No, Shorter chain alkanes are more flammable
What is an alkane with one or more attached alkyl groups?
Branched chained alkane
Is helium more flammable then hairspray?
Helium is a non flammable gas.
What is flammable organic or inorganic?
Usually organic compounda are more flammable than inorganic
Is an alkane polar or nonpolar?
Alkynes are polar, slightly more than alkanes or alkenes, due to electron density at their triple bond. However, liquid alkynes are non-polar solvents.
Are longer chain alkanes more flammable than shorter chain alkanes?
No, Shorter chain alkanes are more flammable
Which compound may be formed when alkanes are cracked?
When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.
What is an alkane with one or more attached alkyl groups?
Branched chained alkane
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).
Could someone explain the differences in changes of state in terms of intermolecular forces of attraction between a short molecule i.e. methane and a longer molecule i.e. pentane.?
In the absence of any other functional groups, the longer the alkane (pentane is longer than methane), the greater will be the intermolcular forces. Thus, it will take more energy to change states for the longer molecule than the shorter (b.p. will be higher, etc.). This arises from the fact that the more carbon atoms (or the more atoms, in general), the greater will be the dispersion forces. These may very well be the only intermolecular forces present, if there are no dipoles, or hydrogen bonding.
Pharmaceutical uses of alkane?
The pharmaceutical use of alkane is often used in general anesthesia. Alkane is a compound of halothane which is a general anesthetic agent.
What is an alkane in which a halogen atom replaces one or more hydrogen atoms on a carbon chain?
halo alkane or alkyl halides
Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane have two more hydrogen atoms than a 4 carbon cyclic alkane?
octet rule
Which is more flammable axe or Adidas?
Adidas is more flammable because of the harsh chemicals in it.
Which is more flammable rubbing alcohol or jet fuel?
Rubbing alcohol more flammable.
Is helium more flammable then hairspray?
Helium is a non flammable gas.
What is flammable organic or inorganic?
