What are hydrocarbons used for fuel in stoves and air planes?
When hydrocarbons burn, they release a great amount of energy.
Why are hydrocarbons used for fuel in stovescars and airplanes?
Airplanes use a fuel called kerosene.
Why are hydrocarbons used for fuel in stoves cars and airplains?
Like many other organic compunds, hydrocarbons mix poorly with water. Also, all hydrocarbons are flammable. Being flammable means that they burn easily. When hydrocarbons burn, they realease a great deal of energy. For this reason, they are used as fuel for stoves, heaters, cars, buses, and airplanes.
What is the process in which large hydrocarbons are converted into smaller hydrocarbons which provide better fuel?
Process is called cracking.
Does burning produce co2?
If the fuel that is burnt contains hydrocarbons, yes.

Why is petrol not made from straight-chain hydrocarbons?
Straight-chain hydrocarbons ignite very easily; in a vehicle, they would ignite before they reached the engine. Branched hydrocarbons are not as reactive so they are used for fuel such as petrol.
What fuels could be used instead of fossil fuels?
Fuel that can be used instead of fossil fuel :BiodieselBioAlcoholBattery as fuel (electric fuel cells)HydrogenArtificially produced combustible hydrocarbons [methane, butane,etc]Compressed Air
Why petrol can not be used as a fuel in stove at home?
You need a special kind of stove that can handle liquid hydrocarbons.
What fossil fuel contains cyclic hydrocarbons?
Oil contains aromatics or cyclic hydrocarbons, such as benzene.
What are hydrocarbons used for?
fuel and to obtain other organic compounds such as methanol, ethanol, carbon black, chloroform, formaldehyde.
When does jet fuel turn into a solid?
Certain waxes (hydrocarbons) in jet fuel may start to crystallize out at about 40 below zero, depending on the particular fuel mixture being used.
What is the process in which large hydrocarbons are converted into smaller hydrocarbons which is provided better fuel?
The process is called "cracking" .
