Dangerous in what way? hydrogen just being burned does not contribute to global warming, but what about 'making' the hydrogen? Does that use other fuels that contribute to global warming? Hydrogen is more explosive if that is what you mean by dangerous. Hydrocarbons burn to form carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.
What else can I help you with?
Is hydrogen more dangerous than oxygen Why?
Hydrogen is dangerous than Helium because Hydrogen is a stronger gas than Helium.
How the hydrocarbons reduced?
Hydrocarbons can be reduced through various methods, primarily involving chemical reactions that add hydrogen or remove oxygen. One common method is catalytic hydrogenation, where hydrogen gas is reacted with hydrocarbons in the presence of a catalyst to produce alkanes. Additionally, processes like steam reforming and hydrocracking also help in breaking down larger hydrocarbons into lighter, more useful fractions. Overall, these techniques aim to enhance fuel quality and reduce environmental impact by producing cleaner-burning fuels.
Why does the petrol fraction have a lower viscosity than the fuel oil fraction?
Petrol has a lower viscosity than fuel oil because petrol is a more refined product consisting of lighter hydrocarbons, while fuel oil contains heavier hydrocarbons and impurities. The lighter hydrocarbons in petrol flow more easily due to weaker intermolecular forces, resulting in lower viscosity compared to the heavier hydrocarbons in fuel oil.
How are substituted hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons different?
Well, darling, substituted hydrocarbons are like regular hydrocarbons' flashy cousins. They both contain carbon and hydrogen, but the substituted ones have some hydrogen atoms replaced by other elements or groups. So, it's like comparing a basic black dress to one with sequins and feathers - same idea, just a bit more pizzazz.
The type of compound that contains much more carbon and hydrogen than oxygen?
The type of compound that contains much more carbon and hydrogen than oxygen is a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Examples include methane, ethane, and propane.
Is hydrogen more dangerous than oxygen Why?
Hydrogen is dangerous than Helium because Hydrogen is a stronger gas than Helium.
What are some hydrogen products?
Hydrocarbons (It is an element made up of only hydrogenand carbon) There are different types of hydrocabons: methane, ethane,propane,butane. If you want to know more go research on google.
How does hydrogen improve fuel economy?
It has been suggested that hydrogen is better for the environment but not necessarily better for fuel economy because the majority of hydrogen is produced directly from hydrocarbons and has serious consequences just like we currently have now by burning hydrocarbons (oil derivatives) directly in our vehicles.A home made system can be constructed that produces a small quantity of hydrogen/oxygen from water and passed directly into the intake air manifold of your car which is said to improve your fuel economy, but research suggests the engine may run hotter and timing issues will cause knocking.Should we change over to an hydrogen economy? Yes as should the whole world over, but with the reservation that storage of hydrogen is not the answer, actually it is futile and dangerous to even consider it see here:http://knol.google.com/k/christopher-martin-wilson/hydrogen-storage-is-not-the-answer-to-a/41kg49i9tztg/4Apart from some on-site hydrogen generation/insitu, the hydrogen economy is best directed and steered towards self sufficiency. In other words it will be a do-it-yourself proposal but unfortunately until we all switch over from hydrocarbons the oil companies will do everything in their power to prevent it which will ultimately lead to higher and higher oil prices for those remaining few willing or having to buy it from them.

What is the process in which large hydrocarbons are converted into smaller hydrocarbons which is provided better fuel?
The process you are referring to is known as cracking. Cracking involves breaking down larger, less valuable hydrocarbons into smaller, more valuable hydrocarbons such as gasoline and diesel. This process improves the quality and effectiveness of the fuel produced.

How are hydrogen cars powered?
Generally, a Hydrogen powered car runs by using hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity in a fuel cell, which is then used to power an electric traction motor that runs the car. Direct ignition-engines are more difficult and dangerous to 'run'.
Are hydrogen fuel cell car dangerous?
The most likely spot for a hydrogen fuel tank on any possible car that will be built is going to be on the top of the car. This would prevent you from becoming part of the fuel burn in an accident. The fuel would flow up and away from the people involved. They would not be any more dangerous because of the fuel they were carrying. The technology may still be unlikely to go into this direction because they provide no real advantage at the moment over gas or diesel powered cars. Hydrogen would not provide any real savings in terms of fossil fuel reduction or savings from a pollution standpoint. The current method of making hydrogen is to strip it from natural gas.
What types of hydrocarbons are more abundant in higher-octane gasoline?
Higher-octane gasoline typically contains hydrocarbons with more carbon-carbon double bonds, such as aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene, toluene, and xylene. These hydrocarbons have higher resistance to pre-ignition and provide better fuel efficiency in high-performance engines.
What is meant by the term saturatedas applied to hydrocarbons?
The term "saturated" when applied to hydrocarbons refers to compounds that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms, meaning they are fully "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. This results in a chemical structure that is stable and cannot accommodate additional hydrogen atoms without breaking bonds. Examples of saturated hydrocarbons include alkanes, such as ethane and propane. In contrast, unsaturated hydrocarbons contain one or more double or triple bonds, allowing for fewer hydrogen atoms.
