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.
By adding hydrocarbons
Petrol is a compound, not an element. It is made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily containing carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Petrol, also known as gasoline, is primarily made from crude oil through a refining process. Crude oil is a fossil fuel found underground and consists of hydrocarbons. The refining process separates these hydrocarbons into different products, with petrol being one of them.
hydrocarbons, which make up oil, so petrol, kerosene, etc....
liquid hydrocarbons
Various hydrocarbons.
Yeah they are!
Hydrocarbons (HC)
Many hydrocarbons such as petrol, diesel, benzene, toluene, etc.
Petrol, also known as gasoline, is primarily made from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which are compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. The refining process separates these hydrocarbons into different fractions, with petrol being one of the main products extracted.
Petrol is made by heating crude oil and letting hydrocarbon chains condense at different "fractions" in the cooling tank.... at the bottom of the tank you have long hydrocarbons like viscous butane and nearer the top you have petrol etc. Petrol is made by cracking crude oil.
because it has short-chain hydrocarbons
