infinite.
You can always add on more carbons and make the chain longer. Therefore there are many hydrocarbon combinations as there are numbers. And if there is an infinite amount of numbers, then there is an infinite number of hydrocarbons.
there are half a million numbers of hydrocarbons and this may be a conservative estimate. dear!
What else can I help you with?
How many carbon atoms are involved in charcoal?
There is an uncountable number of carbon atoms involved in charcoal; charcoal is mostly carbon.
What are some nonliving and living things that contain carbon?
Limestone is composed of calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (the 3 is a sub-script) so it's a calcium atom, a carbon atom, and 3 oxygen atoms. There are some other minerals that contain carbon as well. Diamond, which is pure carbon, is an example.
How many carbon atoms and hydrogen molecules would be required to make two molecules of methane?
Well methane has a chemical structure of CH4 (one carbon surrounded by 4 hydrogen atoms), so for 2 methane you would need a total of 2 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms (or 4 H2 molecules)
How many atoms make up a glucose molecula?
There are three different types of elements in glucose: Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. With a formula, C6H12O6, there are a total of 24 atoms.
How many atoms of each element are there in 2Na2CO3?
6. 2 sodium, 1 carbon, and 3 oxygen.
How many carbon atoms do hydrocarbons contain?
Hydrocarbons contain carbon and hydrogen atoms, with the number of carbon atoms varying depending on the specific hydrocarbon molecule. Typically, hydrocarbons can contain anywhere from one carbon atom in methane to hundreds or even thousands of carbon atoms in larger molecules.
If an acyclic alkane hydrocarbon contains n carbon atoms how many hydrogen atoms must it also contain?
Then the acyclic alkane hydrocarbon contains 2n+2 hydrogen atoms.
When the carbon atoms in hydrocarbon molecules are bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible is an unsaturated hydrocarbon is produced?
No, when the carbon atoms in hydrocarbon molecules are bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible, a saturated hydrocarbon is produced. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have carbon-carbon double or triple bonds, resulting in fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms.
What is the lipids that contain the maximum number of carbon and hydrogen possible?
Triglycerides are the lipids that contain the maximum number of carbon and hydrogen possible. They consist of a glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains, which can vary in length but typically contain long hydrocarbon chains with many carbon and hydrogen atoms.
How many hydrogen atoms does hydrocarbon have?
it depends on the hydrocarbon itself as this name is given to a broad group of compounds , propane , methane ect are all hydrocarbons with different chemical compositions but have one thing in common , when they burn ( +O2) they produce only CO2 and H2O together ( carbon dioxide and water ) all hydrocarbons are is hydrogen and carbon
How many hydrocarbon with only carbon carbon single bond and n number of carbon atoms how many hydrogen atoms are there in terms of n?
For a hydrocarbon with only carbon-carbon single bonds and n carbon atoms, the number of hydrogen atoms can be calculated using the formula 2n + 2. This is because each carbon atom forms 4 single bonds (including 3 with other carbons and 1 with hydrogen), and the total number of hydrogen atoms is equal to 2n + 2.
How many hydrogen atoms are present in a hydrocarbon chain of five carbon atoms with one double bond and the rest single bonds?
A hydrocarbon chain with five carbon atoms and one double bond would have the formula C5H10. Since hydrogen atoms are twice the number of carbon atoms plus two, there would be 10 hydrogen atoms present in this hydrocarbon chain.
How many carbons does propane have?
Three. Propane is C3H8, a (hydrocarbon) molecule containing 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms.
Why are proteins considered organically molecules?
They contain many carbon atoms
How many double bonds are in saturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds. They have single bonds between all the carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain.
What elements do all hydrocarbons contain?
Hydrocarbon fuels contain a mixture of molecules classified as "hydrocarbons" along with various other non-hydrocarbon components which may or may not have fuel value. A hydrocarbon is a molecule that has a carbon backbone with hydrogen attached along the backbone. Simplest hydrocarbon is Methane (CH4). Hydrocarbons are generally associated with fossil fuels, but need not come just from fossil fuels. For example: Methane is a common byproduct of decaying organic matter. Global warming alarmists have noted the large amount of methane emitted from belching and flatulent cattle. Hydrocarbon fuels usually contain other organic and inorganic compounds such as alcohols, keytones, ethers, and esters. They may contain partially oxygenated and nitrated compounds. Some contain hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur compounds. Since many (if not most) hydrocarbon fuels are fossil fuels and fossils are found in the ground - other common components of the ground (aka "dirt") are also mixed in with the hydrocarbon fuels. These inorganic compounds usually manifest themselves as ash after the hydrocarbon fuel is burned. Some of the common inorganic components are silica compounds and metals, although other nonmetallic components like Boron may also be present.
Which hydrocarbon compound has a triple bond in the molecule?
Alkynes: they contain SP hybridized Carbon atoms. The 2 SP hybridized orbitals of two adjacent carbons overlap, leaving two more unhybridized p orbitals, which overlap. This forms three pairs of shared electrons over two carbon atoms, or simply, a triple bond.Alkynes contain triple bonds.Best of luck
