What else can I help you with?
What are the elements present in hydrocarbon?
The elements are carbon and hydrogen, C and H. they're linked by single bonds.
What small hydrocarbon molecules form polymers?
Monomers are small hydrocarbon molecules that form polymers.
Does longer hydrocarbon molecules have higher boiling points than short hydrocarbon molecules?
yes
What are two types of detergent molecule?
The most probable type of a molecules in the detergents is the hydrocarbon molecules and the sodium molecules. The sodium molecules binds to water while the hydrocarbon molecule binds to grease.
What is achieved in the process of cracking?
For anyone who has seen the previous answer ignore the immature remark. "Fuels made from oil mixtures containing large hydrocarbon molecules are not efficient. They do not flow easily and are difficult to ignite. Crude oil often contains too many large hydrocarbon molecules and not enough small hydrocarbon molecules to meet demand - this is where cracking comes in. Cracking allows large hydrocarbon molecules to be broken down into smaller, more useful hydrocarbon molecules. Fractions containing large hydrocarbon molecules are vaporized and passed over a hot catalyst. This breaks chemical bonds in the molecules, and forms smaller hydrocarbon molecules. Cracking is an example of a thermal decomposition reaction." Sources:http://www.bbc.co.uk.education2020.us/
Do short hydrocarbon molecules flow easily?
yes
Are short hydrocarbon molecules volatile?
Yes, short hydrocarbon molecules are typically volatile because they have low molecular weights and weaker intermolecular forces, allowing them to easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. Examples of short hydrocarbon molecules include methane, ethane, and propane.
What hydrocarbon is present in natural gas?
Methane is the primary hydrocarbon present in natural gas, typically accounting for around 70-90% of its composition.
Is cracking hydrocarbon molecules an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
Cracking hydrocarbon molecules is an endothermic reaction. This process requires energy input to break the chemical bonds in larger hydrocarbon molecules, resulting in smaller molecules, such as alkanes and alkenes. The energy absorbed during cracking exceeds the energy released from the formation of the new bonds in the products, making it endothermic.
Why is hydrocarbon important?
it makes smaller molecules which is more useful.
What type of reaction is cracking an example of?
Thermal Decomposition
What are liquid crude oil and petroleum made from?
Liquid crude oil and petroleum are primarily made up of hydrocarbon molecules, which are compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. These molecules are formed from the remains of dead organic matter that has been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. Other elements such as sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen can also be present in smaller amounts.
