Why ethene and carbon monoxide take the same time to diffuse?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ethene and carbon monoxide take the same time to diffuse because diffusion is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and molecular weight. Both ethene and carbon monoxide have similar molecular weights, which means they have similar rates of diffusion in a given medium. Therefore, they take the same time to diffuse.

Is 2 methyl 2 propane amine an optical isomer or a geometrical isomer and why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2-methyl-2-propaneamine (isopropylamine) is neither an optical isomer nor a geometric isomer. Optical isomers arise from chirality (having a non-superimposable mirror image), whereas geometric isomers arise from restricted rotation around a double bond or ring. In the case of isopropylamine, it is a branched molecule without a chiral center or a double bond, so it does not exhibit optical or geometric isomerism.

Why is isomerism not found in propane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Isomerism is a phenomenon where compounds have the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. Propane (C3H8) consists of three carbon atoms bonded in a straight chain with eight hydrogen atoms attached. Since there are no other possible ways to arrange the carbon atoms, propane does not exhibit isomerism.

Does propane need smaller spark plug gap?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, propane does not require a smaller spark plug gap. The spark plug gap should be set based on the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific engine, regardless of the fuel being used. It is important to follow the spark plug gap specified for the engine to ensure proper combustion and performance.

What elements are considered as hydrocarbon derivatives?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hydrocarbon derivatives include compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms, but also other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine), sulfur, and phosphorus. Examples of hydrocarbon derivatives include alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, amides, halogenated hydrocarbons (such as chloroform), thiols, and thioketones.

How does carbon dioxide and methane compare?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that is primarily released through human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. It is the main contributor to long-term climate change. Methane (CH4) is another potent greenhouse gas, but it is released in smaller quantities. However, methane is much more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere, so it has a higher warming potential per unit compared to CO2.

Is magnesium chloride and methane covalent substances?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, magnesium chloride and methane are both covalent substances. Magnesium chloride has a covalent bond between magnesium and chloride ions, while methane has covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms.

What will lie flat on a plane Methane ethane ethene ethyne chloromethane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Out of the given molecules, methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) will lie flat on a plane. Methane has a tetrahedral shape with carbon at the center and four hydrogen atoms attached to it, while ethane has a linear shape with two carbon atoms bonded together and six hydrogen atoms attached to the carbons. Ethene (C2H4), ethyne (C2H2), and chloromethane (CH3Cl) have bent or trigonal planar geometries, which means they won't lie flat on a plane.

What is the calorific value of 1cubic meter of propane?

Asked by Wiki User

The calorific value of 1 cubic meter of propane is approximately 26,000 kilojoules or 6,200 kilocalories.

Does PRESSURE in a propane tank without propane have any weight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, pressure in a propane tank without propane still has weight. Pressure is the force exerted per unit area, and it does have a measurable weight. However, the weight of the pressure alone may not be significant compared to the weight of the tank itself.

How much does an empty 30-pound propane tank weigh?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

a typical steel "30 pound" liquid propane tank weighs about 25-28 pounds empty.

propane tank markings (on collar)

propane weighs about 4.125 pounds per gallon and a "30 pound tank" will

hold about 7.5 gallons so a full tank will weigh about 55 pounds or so.

Typical recertification stamp:

MM XXX YY E

MM -> 2 digit recertification month

XXX ->3 character Re-qualifier's registration number

YY -> 2 digit recertification year

E ->States the cylinder has been externally examined

WC -> Water capacity of the cylinder.

TW -> Tare weight of the cylinder (what the tank weighs empty)

ICC, DOT, BTE, CTC or TC -> Specification number eg. TC4BA240

10 89 -> Date of manufacture (October. 1989)

Why does 2- butene have cis and trans isomers but 1- butene doesn't?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cis/Trans Isomerism occurs when there are two different groups on each side of the C=C bond. In But-2-ene the Carbons with a double bond are each bonded to one C and one H whereas, in But-1-ene one end is bonded to carbon and Hydrogen, and one end is bonded to two hydrogens.

H [CH2]- CH3

\ /

C=C But-1-ene: One end bonded to two Hydrogens, One end bonded

/ \ to 1 x Carbon, 1 x Hydrogen

H [H]

H H

\ /

C=C cis But-2-ene: Both ends of double bond are bonded to, 1 x Carbon

/ \ 1 x Hydrogen, and biggest elements on each side

H3C CH3 (Carbon) are both on same side so cis or Z

Why are alkanes saturated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is because they have a large number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms

What is alkenes uses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alkanes (also known as paraffins or saturated hydrocarbons) are chemical compounds that consist only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) (i.e., hydrocarbons), wherein these atoms are linked together exclusively by single bonds (i.e., they are saturated compounds) without any cyclic structure (i.e. loops). Alkanes belong to a homologous series of organic compounds in which the members differ by a constant relative molecular mass of 14.

Each carbon atom must have 4 bonds (either C-H or C-C bonds), and each hydrogen atom must be joined to a carbon atom (H-C bonds). A series of linked carbon atoms is known as the carbon skeleton or carbon backbone. In general, the number of carbon atoms is often used to define the size of the alkane (e.g., C2-alkane).

An alkyl group, generally abbreviated with the symbol R, is a functional group or side-chain that, like an alkane, consists solely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms, for example a methyl or ethyl group.

The simplest possible alkane (the parent molecule) is methane, CH4. There is no limit to the number of carbon atoms that can be linked together, the only limitation being that the molecule is acyclic, is saturated, and is a hydrocarbon. Saturated oils and waxes are examples of larger alkanes where the number of carbons in the carbon backbone tends to be greater than 10.

Alkanes are not very reactive and have little biological activity. Alkanes can be viewed as a molecular tree upon which can be hung the interesting biologically active/reactive portions (functional groups) of the molecule.

Is Hydrocarbon fuel a renewable or nonrenewable energy resource?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The fuel is refined from hydrocarbon liquids and gases derived from wells drilled deep into the Earth's crust. Those hydrocarbons were/are derived from far deeper sources in the mantle. My theory is that at certain as yet undiscovered levels of the mantle, the temperature and pressure are ideal for elemental carbon and hydrogen to combine. Over time, these hydrocarbons seep up into the crust where we find them. The ones from the deep oceans are the purest because they have not yet been exposed to the organic contamination found either in shallower seas or on terra firma.
