What else can I help you with?
Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.
Why alkane don't reaction with potassium permanganate?
Alkanes do not react with potassium permanganate because they are relatively inert and do not contain any functional groups that can undergo oxidation or substitution reactions with the oxidizing agent. Potassium permanganate is typically used to oxidize compounds with functional groups like alcohols, aldehydes, and double bonds, which are absent in alkanes.
Are longer chain alkanes more flammable than shorter chain alkanes?
Shorter chain alkanes are generally more flammable than longer chain alkanes. This is because shorter chain alkanes are more volatile and readily vaporize, making them easier to ignite. Longer chain alkanes are less volatile and require higher temperatures to vaporize and ignite.
What is the difference in acidity between alkynes, alkenes, and alkanes?
Alkynes are more acidic than alkenes and alkanes. Alkenes are more acidic than alkanes.
Do alkanes have double bonds double bonds?
No, alkanes do not have double bonds. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds between carbon atoms.
Why alkane can't be oxidized with KMnO4 solution?
Alkanes cannot be oxidized by KMnO4 because they lack functional groups that can undergo oxidation reactions. KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent that typically reacts with compounds containing double or triple bonds, alcohols, or other oxidizable functional groups. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, meaning they only contain single bonds between carbon atoms, making them relatively stable and unreactive towards oxidation. Thus, KMnO4 does not effectively oxidize alkanes under normal conditions.
Does combustion only happen to alkanes?
No, combustion can occur with any organic compound that contains carbon and hydrogen, not just alkanes. Combustion is a chemical reaction that involves the rapid oxidation of a material typically with the release of heat and light.
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
Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.

Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that have only single bonds between carbon atoms. They are saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2, where n represents the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. Alkanes are relatively inert and have straight or branched chain structures.
What the advantages of using alkanes?
Alkanes are, 1- good fuel, 2-higer alkanes are good lubricants, 3- they are antiseptic for external use.
What are 3 kinds of carbon chains found in hydrocarbons?
Alkanes alkanes and alkynes
Why alkanes called parafins?
because of their unreactive nature alkanes are called parrafins
