Hydrocarbons

Methanogenic archaea are the bacteria that can utilize methane as their source of energy and do not require oxygen for survival. These bacteria produce methane as a byproduct of their metabolism. They play a crucial role in anaerobic environments such as wetlands and the digestive systems of animals.

Alkenes were first discovered by the French chemist Théophile-Jules Pelouze in 1834. He isolated the first alkene, ethylene, by heating ethanol with sulfuric acid.

Alkane: -ane. C-C interaction has single bond

Alkene: -ene. C-C interaction has double bond

Alkyne: -yne. C-C interaction has triple bond

Least reactive alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, while alkene and alkyne not. Alkanes undergo susbstitution reaction while others under go addition reactions rather.

Alkanes rule is CnH2n+2 while alkene CnH2n and alkyne CnH2n-2.

A no-vent propane fireplace is beneficial because it doesn't require a chimney or venting system, making installation easier and more flexible in terms of placement. It also provides efficient heat output and can be more cost-effective compared to traditional vented fireplaces. Additionally, it avoids the potential for air leakage and heat loss associated with vented systems.

Yes, C2H6 is a hydrocarbon. It is specifically a saturated hydrocarbon known as ethane, which is composed of two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms.

There is no specific formula for catching a "fitkiri" as it refers to a Nepali tradition where one person closes their eyes and tries to catch another person by listening to their sound. It is more of a game or folk activity rather than a formulaic process.

Yes, trees can take in methane from the atmosphere, mainly through their leaf surfaces. Microorganisms living on the trees' surface and within the soil around them can also help break down methane into carbon dioxide and water. This process can contribute to reducing methane levels in the atmosphere.

Carbon & hydrogen are the two types of elments of the present in butane.

It is difficult to determine an exact number of elements left to discover as new elements are constantly being synthesized in laboratories. However, the periodic table is thought to be mostly complete, with the discovery of new elements becoming increasingly rare due to their short lifespans and high reactivity.

Two distinct alkene products are possible when an alkyl halide undergoes E2 elimination. One product results from the removal of a beta hydrogen on one side of the molecule, while the other product results from the removal of a beta hydrogen on the opposite side.

No, cigarettes are not made with butane. Cigarettes are typically made from tobacco leaves that are treated and processed, then rolled into a cylindrical shape. Butane is a highly flammable gas that is not used in the production of cigarettes.

Ethane is a simple hydrocarbon compound consisting of two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms. EP Mix, on the other hand, is a blend of ethane and propane in varying ratios, typically used as a refrigerant in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. EP Mix offers a different boiling point range compared to pure ethane, making it suitable for different applications.

A hydrocarbon fire extinguisher is a type of fire extinguisher specifically designed to combat fires fueled by flammable liquids such as gasoline, oils, and grease. These extinguishers contain agents like dry powder or foam that work by smothering the fire and cutting off the oxygen supply to extinguish the flames.

Alkenes are very important as:

1. They are used in the manufacture of polythene, Mustard gas(beta-beta dichloro ethyl sulphide)

2. Ethene, one of the alkenes, is used as a general anaesthetic and for artificial ripening of fruits.

3. Alkenes are used as a starting material for a large number of chemicals of industrial use such as glycols(antifreeze) , ethyl halide and ethyl alcohol.

Probably not. It is currently unknown exactly what dark matter is, but theories claim that it may comprise up to 90 percent of the mass in the universe. We can't even find life on the masses we can identify.

Nitro-methane fuel used in drag racing typically costs around $25-$35 per gallon, depending on the specific blend and manufacturer. The high cost is due to its specialized formulation and performance-enhancing properties.

No, helium and methane are separate gases. Helium is a noble gas that is primarily obtained from natural gas deposits, while methane is a hydrocarbon compound composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Helium is typically found in reservoirs separate from methane deposits.

The process is called catalytic cracking. In this process, large hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller molecules by exposing them to high temperatures and a catalyst. This results in the formation of lighter hydrocarbons that are more suitable for use as fuels.

Yes, methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide is generated whenever there is anaerobic decomposition (ie, without air) of organic material.

See the link below for a very quick video (13 secs) of about 10 grams of methane being burnt off a lake. Then multiply the 10 grams by just about any number of frozen lakes and tundra you can think of.

Yes but you have to draw it as a 3 carbon ring structure (like a triangle) and the 1st carbon would have a CH3 and an OH.

First of all I haven't seen a propane gas company shut off any gas going to your home because most homes that run on propane have a tank and if you don't pay your bill then they won't come and fill it. Natural gas companies will shut off your gas and unless its your only way of heat and you have children living inside then they can not shut off your gas in cold winter months but you will still be charged for those months and might include interest so its best to always pay your gas bill and if you are struggling with money then try to keep your home heated to the minimum degrees you can comfortably like instead of your home temp being 74* f try keeping it around 68 or 69*f.

Butane is a colorless gas at room temperature and pressure.

Yes, methane is a greenhouse gas that occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere. It is released through natural processes such as wetlands, as well as human activities like agriculture and fossil fuel production. Methane contributes to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
