A hydrocarbon chemical.
Thermal Decomposition
Sugar is an example of a hydrocarbon. Sugar is an example of a sweet substance made from liquids taken from plants.
An example of a saturated hydrocarbon is methane (CH4), which consists of single bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms and contains the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible for its carbon atoms.
The general chemical equation for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon is: Hydrocarbon + O2 -> CO2 + H2O For example, the combustion of methane (CH4) can be represented as: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
Yes, isobutane is a good example of a branch chain hydrocarbon because it contains branches, or side chains, in its molecular structure. In the case of isobutane, it has one branch off the main carbon chain, making it a branch chain hydrocarbon.
A halogenated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon in which one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced with a halogen atom such as chlorine or fluorine. One example of a halogenated hydrocarbon is trichloroethylene.
Yes. All oils are hydrocarbons.
Typically the shorter the carbon chain, the LESS viscous the hydrocarbon. The longer the chain, the MORE viscous the hydrocarbon. For example consider the viscosity and molecular size in: Gasoline < Diesel < Motor Oil < Tar Viscosity increases with the molecular size and length of hydrocarbon chain.
One example of a compound that does not contain hydrocarbon groups is water (H2O). Water is a simple compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen, with no hydrocarbon chains or rings present.
