What is the name of the unbranched alkane with eight carbon atoms?
The fourth of the methane series. Methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, ... Fourth is butane, like in a bic lighter.
Since water is a much smaller molecule than octane C8H18 one would expect it to flow more quickly However studies show that water is almost four times as viscous as octane How can this be explain?
Octane molecules have almost no interaction with each other but water molecules link up together via a process called hydrogen bonding. This increases the viscosity, boiling and melting points for water.
When compared to high viscosity liquid a liquid with a low viscosity does what?
Low viscosity liquid is more runny, like water, then compared to a high viscosity liquid.
Whose viscosity is more honey or water?
Honey has a higher viscosity than water.
Why does hexadecane burn with a smokier flame than octane?
Hexadecane have more carbon atoms than octane . thus, it burns with a smokier flame than octane . hope it helps :)
Octane and methane are both carbon and hydrogen atoms why are they different?
Octane and methane are both saturated hydrocarbons and follow the formula CnH2n+2. The only thing that's different is the number of carbons (and hence hydrogens) in the backbone. Octane has 8 carbons and has formula C8H18. Methane has 1 carbon and has formula C1H4.
What is the name of the unbranched alkane with eight carbon atoms?

Why does octane have a higher boiling point then water?
Octane is a straight chain molecule with a large surface area and stacks easily with other octane molecules. This increases the strength of the London dispersion forces that keep the octane molecules attracted to each other. The London dispersion forces on octane are greater than for smaller straight chain molecules because octane is both heavier and has more electrons that make it more polarizable.
What do methane octane butane have in common?
All these are saturated hydrocarbons of Alkane family.
What is octane?
Octane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H18.
Pentane Methane Propane Octane Which of these chemical formulas represents the formula for C3H8?
propane
Is methane a biomass fuel?
As far as a I know methane Ch4 is not used in car fuel , it is octane which is used in car fuel C8H18 .
The uses for the first 10 alkanes?
1. Methane 2. Ethane 3. Propane 4. Butane 5. Pentane 6. Hexane 7. Heptane 8. Octane 9. Nonane 10. Decane
Are organic liquid vapors flammable?
Methane and octane, both alkanes, are examples of gases that are used as fuel and are highly flammable.
What are compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Hydrocarbons which include gasoline, methane, ethane, propane, butane, octane etc
Compounds that are made up of carbon and hydrogen?
Methane, butane, propane and octane are a few that are composed of only carbon and hydrogen.
What rhymes with methane?
death main.In chemestry ther are so many. Some are ethane,propane,heptane,octane,hexane,pentane
