Show the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
It is when you burn Oxygen. Here are equations. Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Monoxide + Water

What is sugar water?
sugar water is a mixture of sugar and water. you cannot see the sugar in the water so its a HomogeneousWater with sugar.
Why is the hydrocarbon mixture called paraffin wax ideally suited for a covering on a jelly jar?
because it repels water!
Which more soluble an alkene or carboxylic acid?
It depends upon solvent with respect to water, alkenes are not soluble. Carboxylic Acid are soluble but they become less soluble as the chain length increases due to the longer non-polar hydrocarbon chain which can't form hydrogen bonds with water.
Are fatty acids polar?
Because long hydrocarbon tails cannot interact with water
Is propionic acid polar?
yes, it is a polar molecule because the carboxylic acid group (COOH) on the end is electron-rich. it also fairly easily loses the proton from the -OH of the carboxylic acid to make it an ion in solution (called propionate). it is also miscible with water, which is a hint that it is polar as well. polarity is a relative term, however: take the longer-chain carboxylic acids oleic acid (main component of olive oil) and stearic acid as an example. there is an unequal distribution of charge over the molecule (the hydrocarbon chain vs the COOH), yet they're pretty nonpolar and immiscible with water. the reason for this is that the hydrocarbon chain is so long it weighs the "nonpolar" side of things more heavily. the general rule for straight-chain hydrocarbon carboxylic acids is they get less polar and less strong (as an acid) as the hydrocarbon chain increases in length.

What the details about the cleansing action soap?
A soap molecule contain a long chain of hydrocarbon which is hydrophobic and a short ionic part which is hydrophilic, when oily and greasy substance comes in the contact of soap, then long chain of hydrocarbon get attach with them and form a substance which is hydrophilic ( soluble in water ) and due to that oily an greasy substance removed form cloths.
What chemical reaction happens when a hydrocarbon burns?
The reaction is called oxidation; carbon dioxide and water are released.
What is the word equation for hydrocarbon?
it is fuel + air= water + carbon dioxide + nitrogen + heat, at least according to wikipedia

Where are all the products of a hydrocarbon combustion reaction?
The products of the hydrocarbon combustion are water and carbon dioxide.
