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 is the equation for combustion of alkanes?
The general equation for the combustion of alkanes is: Alkane + O2 --> CO2 + H2O This equation represents the reaction of an alkane with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, releasing heat in the process.
What does the n stand for in CnH2n?
The "n" in CnH2n represents the number of carbon atoms in an alkane hydrocarbon molecule. The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, but for simplicity, CnH2n is often used to represent the relationship between carbon and hydrogen atoms in alkanes.
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.
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 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
Why alkanes are called parafins?
because of their unreactive nature alkanes are called parrafins
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.
