These two compounds do not react with each other but on heating in presence of aluminum oxide the pentadecane under goes cracking process.

Which is more volatile hydrocarbon C15H32 or C8H18?

C8H18 bcz volatility depends upon intermolecular forces and alkanes have van der wall f.o.a and this force depends upon molar mass..Since c8h18 has lower molar mass so the force is less and intermolecular attraction is less.. So it can easily get vaporized . Therefore c8h18 is more volatile..


What is the chemical composition of furnace oil?

Furnace oil is not one single species of petrochemical. The hydrocarbon fuel is a mixture of compounds in the range of 14 to 20 carbon atoms. The chemical formula for some of the more common molecules of heating oil might be C14H30, C15H32, C16H34, C17H36, C18H38, C19H40, or C20H42.


What is the chemical formula of kerosene?

Kerosene is not a single compound, but rather a mixture of hydrocarbons containing between about 12 and 15 carbon atoms. When crude oil is distilled, it is split into fractions according to boiling point. The lightest ones (up to 4 carbons) are gases. The lighter liquids (5 - 7 carbons or so) are used industrially as solvents, and the range between that and kerosene is more or less gasoline. Above kerosene (>15 carbons) are oils, after that the waxes, etc. etc. Anyway, kerosene is a medium-weight mix of hydrocarbons


Which hydrocarbons are solid at room temperature?

Here are a few hydrocarbons that are gases at 20 °C (although this is by no means a complete list):Alkanes:methane (CH4), also known as natural gasethane (C2H6)propane (C3H8)butane (C4H10)(although pentane, C5H12, and longer alkanes are liquids)Alkenes:Ethene (C2H2), also known as ethylenePropene (C3H6), also known as propyleneButene (C4H8), also known as butyleneAlkynes:Ethyne (C2H2), also known as acetylenePropyne (C3H4), also known as methylacetyleneButyne (C4H6), also known as ethylacetylene


What type of reaction is cracking?

Cracking is a type of thermal decomposition reaction where larger hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller, more useful molecules like alkenes and shorter-chain hydrocarbons. It is commonly used in the petroleum industry to produce gasoline and other valuable compounds from crude oil.


Is diesel saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon?

Kerosene or Kerosine is neither. It neither belongs under the Aliphatic or Aromatic branch of Organic chemistry. It's a different branch of Chemistry called Hydrocarbon Derivatives (which contain other organic compounds such as alcohol, ethers and amides). Kerosine fits under a different branch of organic chemistry.Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds in organic chemistry that consist of carbon and hydrogen and are non-aromatic.
