Which weighs more a mole of water or a mole of methane?
It would be a mole of water because you find the molar mass of each compound, finding water is 18.016 g/mol and methane is 16.042 g/mol.
Why?
water= H2O
H 2 x 1.008
O 1 x 16.000
18.016 g/mol
methane= CH4
C 1 x 12.010
H 4 x 1.008
16.042 g/mol
Why is there a carbon cost for for the process of cracking a hydrocarbon?
Cracking a hydrocarbon involves breaking larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones, which requires energy input. This energy typically comes from burning fossil fuels, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and contributing to carbon emissions. This process adds to the overall carbon footprint of hydrocarbon processing.
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.

How many moles of oxygen are required for the complete combustion of heptane?
The balanced equation for complete combustion of heptane is
C7H16 + 11O2 ---(ignition)---> 7CO2 + 8H2O.
For each moelcule of heptane, you would need 11 molecules of oxygen gas.
What is the importance of propane?
Propane vaporizers are used to supply high demand appliances that utilize propane vapor for combustion. Vaporizers use an external heat source to heat liquid propane at a rate that exceeds the vaporization capacity of the tank. http://www.propane101.com/propanevaporizers.htm
What salt will hydrochloric acid produce?
One can not find out 'who', it is just a number, one can only correct the answer, or flag it (which I did just now) or report abuse.
Looking in the 'History' page of that particular question one can see the following: "ID0081931662 wrote the first answer to Do salt and vinegar form hydrochloric acid 14 Nov 2009 21:23" .
Are acetone and ethanol miscible?
No, they are miscible. Acetone dissolves both polar compounds and nonpolar comounds well. That's why acetone is used to wash chemicals off.
What can you dissolve in propane?
Liquid propane can dissolve many non-polar compounds such as lipids, hydrocarbonds, halogenated hydrocarbons (with exception to fluorocarbons), etc. Substances such as water are too polar and are more attracted to itself than non-polar substances and thus do not dissolve.
Liquid propane is a colorless and odorless gas that has been compressed into a liquid state for easy storage and transportation. It is commonly used as a fuel for heating and cooking in households, as well as in vehicles, industrial applications, and agriculture.
What is the most stable configuration of cyclohexane and why?
The most stable configuration of cyclohexane is the chair conformation due to its lower energy and absence of steric hindrance between the hydrogen atoms. In the chair conformation, all carbon-carbon bonds are staggered, resulting in a more stable geometry compared to other conformations like the boat or twist-boat.
How do you make 20 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer with only dihydrogen?
To prepare 20 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer with only dihydrogen phosphate, you can dissolve an appropriate amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in water to achieve the desired concentration of 20 mM. Since you are starting with only dihydrogen phosphate, you would need to adjust the pH of the solution by adding a strong base like sodium hydroxide until the desired pH (usually around 6.8) is reached.
How many carbon atoms are contained in 5.50 gms of ethane?
30 g of ethane will have 6.023 x 1023 molecules of ethane
So, 5.5 g will have 1.104 x 1023 molecules of ethane
Since there are two carbon atoms, in one molecule of ethane, 5.5 g of ethane will have 2.208 x 1023 atoms of carbon.
What effects do ethane have on the environment?
Ethane is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming when released into the atmosphere. It can also react with other pollutants to form ground-level ozone, which can harm human health and the environment. In high concentrations, ethane can contribute to air pollution and smog formation.
Alkanes are liquefied by cooling them below their boiling points, causing their intermolecular forces to weaken, allowing the molecules to move more freely and transition from a solid to a liquid state.
What is the index of refraction for liquid methane?
The index of refraction for liquid methane is approximately 1.25 at a temperature of 111 K. This value may vary slightly depending on temperature and pressure.
How much will it cost for propane in Australia?
Propane is known as LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) in Australia. An 8.5kg bottle for a Gas BBQ costs between AUD$25 - $35 to swap over in Melbourne outer eastern suburbs in August 2012.
How many moles will be in 88 g of propane?
To determine the molar mass of propane (C3H8), add the atomic masses of all the atoms present:
3C = 3x12 = 36
8H = 8x1 = 8
Total = 36 + 8 = 44 g/mole = molar mass of propane
Does propane gas engine emit carbon monoxide?
Virtually ANY carbon-based fuel, when burnt, or as the chemists call it, when "oxidized", will give off carbon monoxide. It is a natural byproduct of the chemical reactions that take place in any location where oxygen and carbon come in contact with each other.
What is the molecular formula of benzene triozonide?
Benzene triozonide is the combination of Benzene and triozonide. Benzene is three molecule of each chlorine and hydrogen and the addition of three molecules of ozone creates Benzene triozonide.
What are the health effects of prolonged exposure to propane gas leak?
Basically none. All it does is displace the o2 which could result in asphyxiation. Basically, dont empty a bottle of it in an enclosed space and stay there for a while. It also does not get stored in your body.
Which quantity is the same for one mole of ethanol and one mole of ethane?
The total number of molecules is equal.
What color does Na-Cl burn in a flame test?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) does not have a characteristic color when exposed to a flame test. Sodium compounds are usually identified by the strong yellow color they produce in a flame test due to the sodium ion.
Why alkynes are called acetylenes?
alkynes are those hydrocabons wich have triple co alent bond among carbon atoms . The first member of alkyne series is known as acetylene.This is the sim;lest alkyne ,with molecular formula( C2H2).Alkynes are also called acetylenes because of the name of the first member of the series is actylene.

Why is methane more stable than ethane?
This is because ethene has double carbon bonds whereas ethane consists of only single carbon bond. The pi bonds are unsaturated hence the compounds consisting of pi bonds are more ready to react in order to break these pi bonds to form new bond in order to achieve higher stability.
