Where does this energy come from once the hydrocarbons release a lot of energy when ignited?

This is the heat of combustion.


Why do chemical reactions with hydrocarbons release a large amount of energy?

It is not obligatory; you think probable to combustion.


What 2 products are made from burning hydrocarbons?

Burning hydrocarbons primarily produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the main products of combustion. Incomplete combustion can also generate carbon monoxide (CO) and various hydrocarbons, such as soot. Additionally, combustion can release nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) depending on the presence of nitrogen and sulfur in the fuel.


How can saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons be differentiated on the basis of combustion?

Saturated hydrocarbons sometimes burn with smoky flame upon combustion while unsaturated hydrocarbons always burn with non-smoky or blue flame. This is on account of the reason that for the same number of carbon atoms in their molecular formula, saturated hydrocarbons have more number of hydrogen atoms as compared to unsaturated hydrocarbons.


Is hydrocarbons involved in green house effect?

no. hydrocarbons make up crude oil and in combustion they are burnt to make CO2


Hydrocarbons may be emitted as a result of burning fuels because of?

imcomplete combustion


Is the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels endothermic?

No, the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels is not endothermic; it is an exothermic reaction. During combustion, hydrocarbons react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This energy release is what makes hydrocarbon fuels valuable for energy production.


How does combustion differentiate between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?

The primary difference is that an unsaturated hydrocarbon contains a C=C double bond allowing it to undergo addition reactions. Saturated hydrocarbons contain only C-C single bonds so only substitution and elimination can occur. The difference can be seen experimentally as an unsaturated hydrocarbon (eg ethene) will decolourise bromine water.


What is made when hydrocarbons are burnt?

Burning of hydrocarbons release water and carbon dioxide.


Can carbon dioxide be man made?

yes. by the combustion of carbon containing hydrocarbons or fuels or wood etc


What do hydrocarbons form when they burn?

When Hydrocarbons burn, they usually form Carbon Dioxide and Water.


What two products are a result of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons?

Soot (carbon) and carbon monoxide - as opposed to full combustion which results in water and carbon dioxide
