How do hydrocarbons ignite?
Hydrocarbons react with oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
What does hydrocarbons oxygen equal?
There is no oxygen in a hydrocarbon, but the atomic weight is 16
What do hydrocarbons always form when they react with oxygen?
Fantastic
What element do hydrocarbons sometimes contain in stead of hydrogen and carbon?
Hydrocarbons can sometimes contain oxygen in addition to hydrogen and carbon. When oxygen is present, the compounds are typically classified as alcohols, ethers, or carboxylic acids, depending on their structure. This inclusion of oxygen alters the chemical properties and reactivity of the molecules compared to standard hydrocarbons.
Is liquid oxygen gasoline?
No. Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Liquid oxygen is oxygen that has been cooled to extremely low temperatures.
What elements are found in gasoline?
Gasoline and fossil fuels are hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are composed of the hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and carbon (C). MTBE and ethanol components to gasoline are also hydrocarbons.
Is oxygen found in organic compounds?
Often but not always - e.g. all hydrocarbons DO NOT contain oxygen but sugars do
How does the burning of hydrocarbons release energy?
When hydrocarbons are burned, the chemical bonds in the molecules are broken, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process involves combining the hydrocarbons with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and other byproducts, which leads to the release of energy that was stored in the bonds of the hydrocarbons.
What two hydrocarbons are used to make plastics?
What two hydrocarbons are used to make plastic
DO hydrocarbons contain oxygen?
No, ONLY Hydrogen and Carbon. Remember it with Hydro-Hydrogen and Carbon means Carbon, of course.
Does gasoline produce smaller hydrocarbons?
Gasoline is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons having 6 to 9 carbon atoms, some linear some cyclic. The laboratory standard "gasoline" used for quality comparison is 100% pure linear octane (i.e. 8 carbon atoms). When burned in an engine with a shortage of oxygen, it does produce smaller hydrocarbons called "unburned hydrocarbons" that contribute to smog.
Are hydrocarbons made of only carbon and oxygen atoms?
No. Hydrocarbons contain only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms. Think about it for a second, HYDRO-Carbon. HYDROGEN... Get it?
