What are the examples of alkane?
Example includes methane(CH4),ethane(C2H6),propane(C3H8)........ Alkanes and its occurence: -methane: natural, bio gas( bacterial decomposition) -pentane: gasoline -butane: fuel canister -hexane: gasoline -Propane: LPG, fuel
What are 3 uses of alkanes?
Three uses of alkanes are:used as organic solvents in labs when in liquid formused as a general anaestheticused as fuels because a large amount of energy is released when alkanes undergo combustion.
Which has the highest boiling point hexane or pentane?
Octane. The boiling point of straight-chain alkanes increases within its homologous series (meaning methane has a lower boiling point than ethane, which is lower than propane, etc). Hexane : Boiling Point 69 o C Octane : Boiling Point 125.5 o C

Which quantity represents the prefix used in naming straight-chain alkanes with the exception of methane propane and butane?
The prefix used in naming straight-chain alkanes, excluding methane, propane, and butane, represents the number of carbon atoms in the chain. This prefix is derived from Greek or Latin numerical prefixes, such as "pent-" for five carbons in pentane or "oct-" for eight carbons in octane.
What does the suffix an mean?
The suffix "ane" identifies the compounds or items as alkanes. For example, methane, ethane, propane, etc.

Does propane contain carbon?
no there is absolutely zero methane in propane. the only thing added to propane is mercaptin, which gives it its odor because propane is naturaly odorless
