Hydrocarbons

No, "butane" is actually from the Latin word for butter, butyrum, which was borrowed from Greek. The Latin word for oil is oleum. ("Petroleum" is literally "rock oil.")

A line structural formula of alkanes would have single lines, which represent single bonds, between the symbols of the carbon and hydrogen atoms, and would show the arrangement of the atoms in a molecule of the alkane. Refer to the related links for illustrations of the first two alkanes, methane, CH4, and ethane, C2H6.

To determine the suggested minimum evacuation distance for a BLEVE incident, refer to the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) applicable for propane (UN1075). Locate the guide number for UN1075 in the ERG, then follow the evacuation distance recommendation provided for the specific scenario described in the guide. Evacuation distances can vary based on factors such as the quantity of the material involved, so it is important to consult the ERG for accurate guidance.

Metahne does not have a higher boiling point than methane. Fluoromethane, CH3F, has a boiling point of 195K, -78.2C, methane, CH4, has a boiling point of 109K approx -164 C. I make that fluoromethane has a higher temeprature boiling point than methane. This is what you would expect, London dispersion forces will be greater in CH3F as it has more electrons than CH4. CH3F is polar and there will be dipole dipole interactions which will not be present in CH4.

The process is called 'cracking' or more properly "Fluid Catalytic Cracking".

It takes place in a Catalytic Cracker (cat cracker) where a combination of high heat, pressure, and chemical catalysts break long chain hydrocarbons into more valuable shorter chain ones.

A catalyst is a compound that speeds up (or slows down) a reaction without being used in the reaction. So a catalyst can be used over and over again for the same process.

I suppose the answer would be 1 Atm.

It is only 0.00017% methane in our atmosphere, but the pressure is still 1 Atm, not of methane alone, but gases combined.

but this is only deducted from the possibility of extracting methane from our atmosphere.

There is not enough information in the question to give an accurate answer.

No, visions by Corning Ware should not be used on a gas or propane range. They are not designed to withstand direct heat from a gas or propane flame, and doing so can cause the cookware to crack or shatter. It is best to use visions by Corning Ware on electric stovetops or in the microwave.

Methane is exothermic because when it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, energy is released in the form of heat. This reaction releases more energy than it takes to break the bonds in the reactants, leading to a net release of energy.

A micron is a unit of measurement for thickness commonly used in plastic industry to indicate the thickness of plastic films or sheets. It is equal to one-thousandth of a millimeter (0.001 mm) and is often used to describe the thickness of plastic packaging materials.

No. Methane is only present in small amounts in the atmosphere; not nearly enough to support combustion. A setup in which it could support combustion would not be stable; a single spark would set the entire atmosphere on fire.

Yes, methane is considered a reactive gas. It can undergo combustion reactions in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Additionally, methane can participate in various chemical reactions with other substances to form different compounds.

Depends on the manufacturer and specification standard of the tank, but roughly speaking at this capacity, there is about 2 pounds of steel for each gallon of capacity, so vacuum purged, the tank would weight approximately 400 lb.

If it is filled with propane, each gallon of propane is 4.2 pounds at 60 degrees. Tanks are generally not filled beyond 80%, so maximum fill would be 672 pounds. Thus, full tank should be approximately 1000 pounds +/-.

The products are Acetone CH3-CO-CH3 and Formaldehyde CH2O.

Geometric isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms due to restricted rotation around a double bond or a ring structure. This results in different physical and chemical properties between the isomers. One common type of geometric isomerism is cis-trans isomerism.

No Methane gas or natureal gas as it is somtimes called is 0.66 kg/m³. Which is more dense than air. (for the most part since air is a mixture of gasses). Which is why a methan leak will drift to the lowest point and suffocate anything in there.

Alkanes make good fuels because they have high energy content per unit mass, they undergo combustion reactions that release a large amount of heat energy when burned, and they are relatively abundant and easily obtainable from fossil fuel sources. Additionally, alkanes burn cleanly and produce less pollution compared to other fuel sources.

I expect the energy difference between staggered and eclipsed conformations in propane to be smaller than the energy difference in ethane. This is because ethane has more rotational freedom than propane due to the presence of an additional carbon-carbon bond, resulting in larger steric hindrance and a larger energy difference between the conformations.

The cost of a 20 lb tank of propane can vary depending on your location and current market prices. On average, you can expect to pay between $15 to $30 to refill a 20 lb tank of propane. It's best to check with local suppliers for current pricing.

In one molecule of CO2, there is one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.

British: Me-thane, beginning same as Me

American: Meh-thane, beginning same as merry

90 cubic feet equates to 673.24675 US gallons of liquid propane.

The value of a used 500 gallon propane tank can vary depending on factors such as age, condition, and local market demand. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1500 for a used 500 gallon propane tank. It's recommended to have the tank inspected by a professional before purchasing to ensure it meets safety standards.

Butane is not typically recommended for gas airsoft guns, as it burns at a lower pressure than the propane or green gas that these guns are designed for. Using butane can potentially damage the gun and may not provide the necessary power for proper operation. Stick to using the gas recommended by the manufacturer to ensure the best performance and longevity of your airsoft gun.

Methane gas is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. It has a much greater impact on climate change than carbon dioxide in the short term. Methane emissions also contribute to air pollution and can have negative health effects on humans.
