At normal pressure, the alkanes pentane (C5H12) through decane (C10H22) are liquids. Alkanes are organic compounds consisting of a single carbon chain of single covalently bonded carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms.
The name for a ten-carbon continuous chain alkane is decane.
The root or base name of an alkane compound is determined by the number of carbon atoms in its longest continuous chain. For example, in the compound "octane", the base name is "oct-" because the longest chain contains 8 carbon atoms.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
Yes. The alkane series is the series of saturated hydrocarbons with the formula CnHn+2 .
The IUPAC name for the alkane given is the systematic name assigned to the specific alkane based on its structure and number of carbon atoms.
The name for a ten-carbon continuous chain alkane is decane.
The longest continuous carbon chain of a branched-chain hydrocarbon is called the main chain or parent chain. It consists of the carbon atoms that form a continuous chain without any branching or side chains attached to it.
Alkenes are also called OLEFINS because they form oily liquids on reaction with chlorine gas.
When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.
No, liquids do not have to be continuous or in an open system to transmit forces. Liquids can transmit forces through hydraulic systems, where pressure is applied at one point in the liquid and transmitted evenly to other areas, allowing for force to be transferred over distances without the need for continuous flow or open systems.
The root or base name of an alkane compound is determined by the number of carbon atoms in its longest continuous chain. For example, in the compound "octane", the base name is "oct-" because the longest chain contains 8 carbon atoms.
No, there are many alkanes; methane is the simplest alkane.
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
The oropharynx is the part of the pharynx that is continuous with the esophagus. Food and liquids pass from the mouth through the oropharynx into the esophagus for digestion and absorption in the digestive system.
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
Kerosene is comprised of multiple types of alkane (hydrocarbon) chains. These chains can vary between 6 to 18 carbons long. Cycloalkanes and aromatics (benzenes) are among kerosene's hydrocarbon constituents.
