What else can I help you with?
Do long hydrocarbons have a higher boiling point then short hydrocarbons?
This is true as far as we are talking about alkanes. As the size of an alkane chain increases the boiling point increases because the relatively low van der Waals forces increase with mass. The higher the vdw forces the more energy required to break apart two molecules and thus higher boiling points.
What is the difference between a short-chain and a long-chain hydrocarbon?
short chain hydrocarbons have a low boiling and melting point whereas high chain hydrocarbons have a higher boiling and melting point. Also, short chain hydrocarbons have a low density and higher ones have a higher density. :)
How does the volatility of a hydrocarbon change as its carbon chain length increases?
As the carbon chain length of a hydrocarbon increases, its volatility generally decreases. This is because longer carbon chains have stronger intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, which make it harder for the molecules to escape into the gas phase. Shorter chain hydrocarbons are typically more volatile and have lower boiling points compared to longer chain hydrocarbons.
How are small hydrocarbons different from larger hydrocarbons?
shorter hydrocarbon chains are easier to ignite, less viscous, a lower boiling point and more volatile. this makes them more useful, so longer chains are often cracked to make the smaller hydrocarbons
Why is LPG cracked to produce petrol?
LPG is cracked to produce petrol because it contains hydrocarbons with shorter carbon chains that are more suitable for producing petrol. During the cracking process, the longer hydrocarbon chains in LPG are broken down into smaller molecules, including those that make up petrol. This conversion allows for a more efficient use of the raw material and helps meet the demand for petrol production.
How is crude made into products?
Crude oil contains mixture of various types of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated by fractional distillation. Different hydrocarbons have different boiling points and therefore after crude oil is heated, shorter chains of hydrocarbons which have lower boiling point will become gas and can be easily separated one by one from hydrocarbons with shorter chains to longer chains. The brief products are Petroleum Gas, Gasoline, Kerosone, Heating Oil, Lubricating Oil and Bitumen in order of increasing molecular size.
Do long hydrocarbons have a higher boiling point then short hydrocarbons?
This is true as far as we are talking about alkanes. As the size of an alkane chain increases the boiling point increases because the relatively low van der Waals forces increase with mass. The higher the vdw forces the more energy required to break apart two molecules and thus higher boiling points.
Do elements with higher boiling point have longer or shorter molecule chains?
In general they are longer chained molecules.
What hydrocarbons are used in diesel oil?
Diesel oil primarily consists of hydrocarbons such as paraffins, cycloparaffins, and aromatics. These hydrocarbons have longer carbon chains compared to those found in gasoline, making diesel oil more suitable for use in diesel engines.
How are hydrocarbons different?
One of these hydrocarbons is longer than the other.
Do hydrocarbon long chains have a high or low boiling point?
Hydrocarbon long chains generally have a high boiling point compared to short chains because longer chains have more bonds to break, requiring more energy for them to vaporize. This is why long-chain hydrocarbons like waxes and oils are typically solid at room temperature.
What is the difference between a short-chain and a long-chain hydrocarbon?
short chain hydrocarbons have a low boiling and melting point whereas high chain hydrocarbons have a higher boiling and melting point. Also, short chain hydrocarbons have a low density and higher ones have a higher density. :)

As a carbon chain length increases viscostiy..?
Viscosity also increases with carbon chain length, at least of linear hydrocarbons.
How high can you swing on a swing set?
The height you can swing on a swing set depends on how hard you pump your legs and how long the chains are. The higher you pump and the longer the chains, the higher you can go. However, it's important to be safe and not swing too high to avoid accidents.
How are small hydrocarbons different from larger hydrocarbons?
shorter hydrocarbon chains are easier to ignite, less viscous, a lower boiling point and more volatile. this makes them more useful, so longer chains are often cracked to make the smaller hydrocarbons
Can Acetylene Gas be used to form long chain hydrocarbons?
I have heard that Methane can be used to form longer chain hydrocarbon fuels, -why not the much higher energy bonded Acetylene?
