How many carbons does pentane have on iys structure?
pentane has five carbons
Ozone depletion is caused by the release of unburned hydrocarbons into the atmosphere?
Hydrocarbons are the ones that release unburned carbons. These form greenhouse gases. These gases causes ozone depletion.
How many carbons are in one molecule of acetaldehyde?
five
Is a hydrocarbon a molecule?
Hydrocarbons are molecules made entirely from hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Some examples include Methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H6), Propane (C3H8), etc.
Are methylpropyl ether and 3-methyl-2-butanol isomers?
I would say no they are not isomers because methylpropyl ether has four carbons, and 3-methyl-2-butanol has five carbons.
Which of the hydrocarbons that contains five carbons?
pentane
What elements do hydrocarbons contain?
The elements that hydrocarbons contain are: -Hydrogen -Carbons
Are short hydro carbons flammable?
Yes, these hydrocarbons are flammable.
What are the different hydrocarbons called with different numbers of carbons?
First of all the basic different hydrocarbons are Alkanes, Alkenes , & Alkynes. Their names end in '-ane', '-ene' and 'yne', respectively. There are more complex hydrocarbons, such as Benzene(Phenyl) & 'Cyclo-', but for the moment I'll omit these. Next the number of carbons in the chain gives the basic name. Meth = 1 carbon Eth = 2 carbons Prop = 3 carbons Buta = 4 carbons Penta = 5 carbons Hexa = 6 carbons Hepta = 7 carbons Octa = 8 carbons Nons = 9 carbons Deca = 10 carbons So a hydrocarbon , with single bonds, and with two carbons is Ethane A hydrocarbons, with one double bond and three carbons is Propene A hydrocarbon, with one triple bond and four carbons is either But-1-yne or But-2-yne , depending on which carbon in the chain the the double/triple bond starts at. Petroleum/Gassoline is Octane. Benzene is a 6 carbon cyclic ring, with ,???three double bonds,. This a unique arrangement. Other cyclic hydrocarbons are ;- Cyclohexane , Cyclohexene. and Cyclohex-1,3-diene. There are many more. Hopefully that gives a little insight in to the nomenclature (naming system) of hydrocarbons; The IUPAC authority have designed the nomenclature so that the name gives all the elements, structure and position of the atoms in organic compounds.
What happened to the hexane to produce ethane?
It loses two hydrocarbons and creates a double bond (between the carbons).
What is the name of the parent hydrocarbon of simple aromatic hydrocarbons?
the longest chain of carbons
What period were carbons formed in the Earth?
Hydrocarbons and coal were formed in what is known as the carboniferous era.
Why are all fossil fuels polluting?
all are hydrocarbons, on burning produces mono carbons
What is hydrocarbon and its function?
Hydro carbons are compounds with H and C only.Many petroleum fuels are Hydrocarbons.
Do alkene burn with a non smoky flame?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons burn wih a luminous smoky flame. (unsaturated hydrocarbons are simply carbons with multiple bonds. they are known as unsaturated because they do not have the maximum amount of hydrogens attached as possible with the amount of given carbons.)
How many carbons does pentane have on iys structure?
pentane has five carbons
Ozone depletion is caused by the release of unburned hydrocarbons into the atmosphere?
Hydrocarbons are the ones that release unburned carbons. These form greenhouse gases. These gases causes ozone depletion.
