Is short carbon chains of hydrocarbon easier to flow or long?
A hydrocarbon composed of short carbon chains will ignite more easily, just think how flammable petrol is!
Why does propane evaporate easily?
boiling point of propane is very low. it is nearly equal to room temparature, therefore propanone evaparates easily.
What are the four liquids that can evaporate easily?
Water ?
How is crude made into products?
Crude oil contains mixture of various types of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated by fractional distillation. Different hydrocarbons have different boiling points and therefore after crude oil is heated, shorter chains of hydrocarbons which have lower boiling point will become gas and can be easily separated one by one from hydrocarbons with shorter chains to longer chains. The brief products are Petroleum Gas, Gasoline, Kerosone, Heating Oil, Lubricating Oil and Bitumen in order of increasing molecular size.
Which water evaporate fast salt water or pure water?
pure waterDiscussionDissolving something in water which does not evaporate easily will make the mixed solution less likely to evaporate than pure water. The more stuff you add to it, the less likely it will evaporate.Adding salt to water makes ions in solution and these ions reduce the vapor pressure of the solution compared to pure water. The lower the vapor pressure of a liquid or solution, the slower it will evaporate. This effect is also related to boiling point elevation and freezing point depression.

What is a volitile liquid?
Violate liquids are liquids that will evaporate, or vaporize easily. They evaporate at room temperature. Violate liquids have a low boiling point.
Does hydrazine evaporate?
Not easily, because its boiling point 114 celsius is higher than water.
Why does propane evaporate easily?
boiling point of propane is very low. it is nearly equal to room temparature, therefore propanone evaparates easily.
Why does water evaporate more easily at the boiling point than at the freezing point?
Because it is closer to its enthalpy of vaporization (ΔvH), at boiling point the liquid molecules have highest kinetic energy so they easily escape from liquid as vapours.
What happens to the boiling points of hydrocarbons as they get bigger?
"volatile" means it turns into gas more easily. liquids turn into gasses when the temperature increases and all the bonds break apart. the smaller the hydrocarbon chains,the fewer bonds that need to break so the faster it will turn to gas.
Do short hydrocarbon molecules flow easily?
yes
Why do modern cars burn hydrocarbon fuels in their engines?
