This is because ethene has double carbon bonds whereas ethane consists of only single carbon bond. The pi bonds are unsaturated hence the compounds consisting of pi bonds are more ready to react in order to break these pi bonds to form new bond in order to achieve higher stability.
What else can I help you with?
Is Ethylene more volatile than Ethane or not?
Yes, ethylene is more volatile than ethane. This is because ethylene has a lower boiling point (-103.7°C) and vapor pressure compared to ethane, making it easier for ethylene to transition from liquid to gas at lower temperatures.
Does lakes of methane exist on moon Titan?
Yes, lakes of methane and ethane have been found on Saturn's moon Titan. These lakes are primarily made up of liquid hydrocarbons due to the extremely cold temperatures on Titan's surface. The presence of such lakes makes Titan the only other known celestial body in our solar system with stable liquid bodies on its surface besides Earth.
Does propane undergo addition reaction?
Propane does not typically undergo addition reactions due to its stable structure as a saturated hydrocarbon. It is not reactive under normal conditions and tends to undergo combustion or substitution reactions rather than addition reactions.
Why is the staggered confirmation of ethane more stable than the eclipsed confirmation?
The staggered confirmation of ethane is more stable because it has lower torsional strain, resulting from the eclipsing of carbon-hydrogen bonds in the eclipsed conformation. In the staggered conformation, the carbon-hydrogen bonds are as far apart as possible, minimizing repulsive interactions. This results in lower energy and higher stability compared to the eclipsed conformation.
3 chemicals in natural gas are?
"Natural gas" is primarily methane but usually contains small amounts (less than 20%) of other flammable gasses such as ethane, and ethylene and contaminants such as carbon dioxide. When first recovered from the ground, it usually contains larger amounts of heavier flammable hydrocarbons such as propane, butane and pentane which are removed for other uses prior to the remainder being sold as natural gas.
Which has more atom's ethane or methane?
definitely ethane, although propane has even more, and butane has more than propane, etc.
Why is methanol more polar than ethanol?
Methane is CH4 or H-CH3 Ethane is CH3-CH3 When compared to H- (in methane), the CH3- (methyl group in ethane) is more electron donating and hence ethane is more basic than methane.
Which has longer chain of atoms butane or ethane?
Butane, here is a simple way to remember Monkeys Eat Peanut Butter. Methane is the smallest, Ethane, then Propane and Butane is highest out of those four then it continues on.
Do termites produce more methane than cows?
Yes, termites produce more methane than cows.
Is Ethylene more volatile than Ethane or not?
Yes, ethylene is more volatile than ethane. This is because ethylene has a lower boiling point (-103.7°C) and vapor pressure compared to ethane, making it easier for ethylene to transition from liquid to gas at lower temperatures.
What is the percentage of hydrocarbon in natural gas?
Natural gas consists primarily of methane, which is a hydrocarbon. On average, natural gas is composed of around 85-95% methane, with the remaining percentage made up of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane.
Does lakes of methane exist on moon Titan?
Yes, lakes of methane and ethane have been found on Saturn's moon Titan. These lakes are primarily made up of liquid hydrocarbons due to the extremely cold temperatures on Titan's surface. The presence of such lakes makes Titan the only other known celestial body in our solar system with stable liquid bodies on its surface besides Earth.
Does propane undergo addition reaction?
Propane does not typically undergo addition reactions due to its stable structure as a saturated hydrocarbon. It is not reactive under normal conditions and tends to undergo combustion or substitution reactions rather than addition reactions.
What is any material that is made of two or more substances?
a compound no,it is a "mixture". a specific "compound" must be composed of different kinds of chemically combined (electronically bonded)atoms in fixed proportions. e.g. Methane (CH4) is a different compound than Ethane (C2H6)
What makes Titan an interesting moon?
Titan is the only known celestial body other than earth to have stable pools of a liquid element on its surface. As Earth has a hydrological atmosphere (water makes clouds, pools etc.) Titan has an atmospheric cycle of methane.
How is Saturn's composition different than Jupiter's?
The two planets compositions are quite similar though with some differences in the Hydrogen/Helium percentage. Jupiter's atmosphere is mainly Hydrogen (around 90%), Helium (around 10%), with small amounts of Methane, Ethane, Water and Ammonia. Saturn's atmosphere is mainly Hydrogen (around 96%), Helium (around 3%), also with small amounts of Methane, Ethane and Ammonia.
Why is the staggered confirmation of ethane more stable than the eclipsed confirmation?
The staggered confirmation of ethane is more stable because it has lower torsional strain, resulting from the eclipsing of carbon-hydrogen bonds in the eclipsed conformation. In the staggered conformation, the carbon-hydrogen bonds are as far apart as possible, minimizing repulsive interactions. This results in lower energy and higher stability compared to the eclipsed conformation.
