What is high temperature cracking?
Breaking long hydrocarbon chains into shorter ones at high temperature.
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!
Do hydrocarbon long chains have a high or low boiling point?
High
Do saturated fatty acids contain a carboxyl group?
No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.
What are long chains of amino acids?
Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides.
What is high temperature cracking?

Do hydrocarbon long chains have a high or low boiling point?
High
What is the carbon content of kerosene?
Kerosene is comprised of multiple types of alkane (hydrocarbon) chains. These chains can vary between 6 to 18 carbons long. Cycloalkanes and aromatics (benzenes) are among kerosene's hydrocarbon constituents.
What is a fatty acid.?
A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid (an acid with a -COOH group) with long hydrocarbon side chains.
A type of lipid with 3 tails made of carbon and hydrogen?
A triglyceride. It has a glycerol "head" which is attached to 3 fatty acid tails which are long hydrocarbon chains.
What are hydrocarbons that have been chemically changed into familiar plastic and rubber?
Polymers. They form long chains of a repeating monomeric unit (the hydrocarbon).
What is the result when fatty acid is hydrolyzed?
Fatty acids are merely carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains. The hydrocarbon chain length may vary from 10-30 carbons (most usual is 12-18). Fatty acids cannot be hydrolyzed further.
Long chains of sugars are?
what are 3 long chains of sugars
What can you tell about a hydrocarbon that is very viscous and not very flammable?
A hydrocarbon that is very viscous and not very flammable is made of a long chain hydrocarbon.
If you took fifty Mg of hydrocarbon how long would it remain in your system?
What is Hydrocarbon? lol
Do saturated fatty acids contain a carboxyl group?
No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.
