Are longer chain alkanes more flammable than shorter chain alkanes?
No, Shorter chain alkanes are more flammable
Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.
How can bromine water test the difference between alkanes and alkenes?
Bromine water can test the difference between alkanes and alkenes because the bromine water turns colourless for the alkenes but doesnt change for the alkanes.
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.
What are the advantages of Alkanes?
There are a few good advantages of Alkanes. They make great lubricants, are good fuels, and antiseptic for exterior uses.
Is the conversion of an alkene to an alkane a reduction or an oxidation?
The addition of hydrogen on alkenes produces the alkanes so it is a reduction process.
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
How can alkanes be described?
Alkanes can be described as saturated.
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.
Which alkanes are liquid?
pentane and other alkanes above it
What come from crude oil alkanes or alkenes?
alkanes
Are longer chain alkanes more flammable than shorter chain alkanes?
No, Shorter chain alkanes are more flammable
Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.
What the advantages of using alkanes?
Alkanes are, 1- good fuel, 2-higer alkanes are good lubricants, 3- they are antiseptic for external use.
Why alkanes called parafins?
because of their unreactive nature alkanes are called parrafins
Why alkanes are called parafins?
because of their unreactive nature alkanes are called parrafins
What are 3 kinds of carbon chains found in hydrocarbons?
Alkanes alkanes and alkynes
