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.
Is oil hydrophobic?
Oil is hydrophobic because its chemical formula doesn't allow it to dissolve in water. In other words, it's "water hating".
Are alcohols hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that only contain carbon and hydrogen.Alcohols are not hydrocarbons, as they also contain oxygen atoms.To convert a long-chain hydrocarbon into an alcohol, 1st cracking must be carried out, breaking the long-chain into smaller molecules and alkenes (hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon double bonds) and 2ndly the alkenes must be hydrated (at high temperature and pressure in presence of a catalyst).Example:1. Cracking (540°C, catalyst)decane (a hydrocarbon) C10H22 → pentane C5H12 + propene CH2=CH-CH3 + ethene CH2=CH22. Hydration (570°C, 60-70 atm, a catalyst such as phosphoric acid)ethene CH2=CH2 + H2O → ethanol (an alcohol) CH3CH2OH
Do molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen mix easily with water?
I am not a chemist, so I can't give you the "chemical" reason, but I would think that do NOT mix easily with water. My reasoning is that molecules that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called "hydrocarbons", and a very common hydrocarbon is oil. Oil does not mix with water, so I assume that the answer to your question is no.
How are gasoline fat and rubber alike?
They are both nonpolar. They both contain carbon and hydrogen, though fats also contain oxygen. The largest parts of fat molecules are very like the simple hydrocarbons in gasoline so some of their chemical properties are similar, for instance they are both good fuels, releasing energy when they burn to form carbon dioxide and water.
Can you run a car on milk?
Not Efficiently. Milk does contain hydrocarbons so it will burn but oil has a much better energy density.
How does the burning of hydrocarbons release energy?
When hydrocarbons are burned, the chemical bonds in the molecules are broken, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process involves combining the hydrocarbons with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and other byproducts, which leads to the release of energy that was stored in the bonds of the hydrocarbons.
What is in fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned?
The heat is produced by the formation of chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen, and between hydrogen and oxygen. So CO2 and water are the necessary products when fossil fuel is burned, without which there would be no heat.
What does Gasoline and rocket fuel store?
Gasoline stores chemical potential energy through the combustion of hydrocarbons. Rocket fuel stores chemical energy that is released through controlled combustion to propel rockets into space. Both fuel types transform stored energy into kinetic energy for various applications.
Do mitochondria contain a lot of muscle cells?
Yes ,muscles need much energy for contractions. So there are lot of mitochindria
Which cell with contain more Mitochondria skin or so muscles?
Muscles have many mitochondria. It needs much energy for contractions
What are hydro carbons?
Hydro means water so hydrocarbons are compound that contain carbon. They also hydrogen and oxygen, usually in a 2 to 1 ratio like water. Some examples of hydrocarbons are sugars and starches, oil and gasoline. Plants make hydrocarbons during photosynthesis when they combine water with carbon dioxide from the air and store energy in the molecules for later use.
Oil and coal are what forms of energy?
They are substances so they are not forms of energy. They contain chemical energy.

Is fossil fuels kinetic or potential energy?
I would actually describe the energy as chemical, as the energy is being used to hold the chemical bonds of the hydrocarbons together. But it is certainly not kinetic, so give these two choices the answer is potential. It is potential energy waiting for a chemical reaction.
Why hydrocarbons are used as fuel?
There are two reasons : 1) Higher calorific value 2) Large chain hydrocarbons have high impurities and when broken into smaller chain compounds their volumetric rate increases. So for the same mass we get a higher volume and this translates into greater profitability.
