Is it possible for an alkane to be an isomer of an alkene?
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
What are the two classes of petrochemicals?
The two classes of petrochemicals are, olefins, which include ethylene and propylene; and aromatics, which include benzene, toluene, and xylene isomers.
Is C6H14 a cycloalkine?
No, it is a non-cyclic, saturated alkane called hexane of which 5 different isomers exsist
What happens when a reaction take place between an alkene and alkane?
If alkene is straight chain and alkane has one tertiary carbon atom then alkylation of alkene takes place and a substituted alkane is produced.
Is carbon monoxide an example of an alkane?
No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.
What is a carbon atoms with double bonds called?
Olefins or alkenes
What is c10?
An alkane hydrocarbon called "Decane"
What is the difference between alkenes and olefins?
Alkenes and Olefins are same compounds with general formula CnH2n.
What would polypropylene be called because it contains a repeating pattern of propylenes?
alkane
What is the reaction for pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation?
In the first stage reactor, di-olefins are being hydrogenated. Cheng et al. (1986) studied the kinetics of pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation over the supported palladium catalyst. The hydrogenation reaction is proposed as the following consecutive way: Conjugated diene -----> monoolefin.......> alkane
Is 3-methyloctane an alkane an alkene or alcohol?
alkane
Describe the polarity of alkane molecules?
Alkane molecules are nonpolar.
Why can the cracking of an alkane into an alkene not be described as oxidation since the alkane loses two hydrogens?
Technically it can be described as oxidation. Technically it is an oxidation reaction, although I've never heard it described as "the oxidation of an alkane". Strange, since when an alkene is converted to an alkane by hydrogenation, we do hear it called "reduction of an alkene". Perhaps this is because the term "alkane oxidation" has been appropriated for the promising research into efficiently capturing energy by combining alkanes with oxygen at low temperatures.
Is methane is the only alkane?
No, there are many alkanes; methane is the simplest alkane.
Is it possible for an alkane to be an isomer of an alkene?
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
What are the two classes of petrochemicals?
The two classes of petrochemicals are, olefins, which include ethylene and propylene; and aromatics, which include benzene, toluene, and xylene isomers.
What is an alkane with one or more attached alkyl groups?
Branched chained alkane
