Hydrocarbons

Yes. In theory it would be possible to blow your house up if you turned on your heater or your gas stove, or even if you light a cigarette. Not to mention that incomplete combustion could cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

A commonly used flammable hydrocarbon gas is propane. It is commonly used for heating and cooking purposes.

Many gas fireplaces can run on either natural gas or propane, depending on the type of fuel line available in the home. Propane gas fireplaces are more common in areas where natural gas is not readily accessible. It's important to check with a professional to ensure the fireplace is compatible with the desired type of gas.

Methane can undergo chemical decomposition through processes like combustion or oxidative degradation. Tungsten is a very stable element and does not readily undergo chemical decomposition under normal conditions. Antimony and krypton are also inert elements and are not easily decomposed chemically.

There are three bonds between the four carbons in the skeleton and one more attaching the methyl group for a total of four C-C bonds.

Ethane does not have any molecule of carbon dioxide. However when ethane undergoes combustion then two molecules of carbon dioxide are formed (as ethane contains two carbon atoms).

The chemical formula of propane is C3H8.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, 21 to 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Some estimates put this value at up to 33 times more potent. The overal impact of methane on global warming is estimated to be about half of carbon dioxode's impact due to the lower concentration in the atmosphere.

Four: 2x2 = 4 C atoms in 2C2H4 (= two molecules C2H4)

As far as radiative forcing (it's ability to trap radiation, and therefore warm the Earth via greenhouse effect), methane is 21 times stronger than CO2. However, Methane's lifespan in the atmosphere is only about 12 years, whereas CO2 gets complicated due to all the cycles it participates in but is generally on the order of a century. Additionally, there's a whole lot less methane in the atmosphere, so in the end, CO2 is doing more to warm the Earth than methane is.

Hexane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon, meaning it has a continuous chain of carbon atoms with no branches or side chains attached.

There is no molecular hydrogen (H2) naturally present in a cup of water. However, water molecules (H2O) contain two hydrogen atoms per molecule.

No, hydrogen burns much too precipitously. The emphasis is always, first and foremost, on safety, and properly handled propane has been found to be the best and safest fuel for hot air ballooning, all possibilities being considered.

Carbon monoxide is the poisonous gas formed when methane burns in a limited supply of air.

Chlorine has a greater value for the van der Waals constant b than ethane. This is because chlorine has a larger molecular size and therefore requires more space for its molecules to move freely, resulting in a larger value of b.

The reported flash point of ethane can vary based on the testing method used, the purity of the sample, and the specific conditions under which the testing is conducted. Different sources may use different testing standards or methods, leading to variation in the reported flash point values. It is important to consider these factors when comparing flash point values from different sources.

No, propane barbecues do not require lava rocks. Lava rocks are often used in gas grills to help distribute heat more evenly and create that smoky flavor, but they are not necessary for propane barbecues to function.

It is estimated that there may be more methane locked up in sediments containing gas hydrates than all other fossil fuel reserves combined. The total global potential of methane in gas hydrates is uncertain but could be in the range of hundreds of trillion cubic meters. Unlocking this methane poses challenges due to technical, environmental, and economic factors.

One can recycle plastic bottles from: Earth911, Recycle Now, Environmental Protection Agency, green Earth Society, Nation of Change, The Daily Green, to name a few. One just needs to enter their location into one of these websites and find recycling areas close them.

It depends on the regulations set by the specific condo association or building management. Some condos may allow propane barbecues on balconies as long as certain safety measures are followed, while others may prohibit them altogether due to fire hazards. It's important to check with the appropriate authorities to ensure compliance with any rules or existing regulations.

Butane is a hydrocarbon compound found in natural gas and crude oil. Both natural gas and crude oil are fossil fuels. At sufficient pressure and low temperature, it can be a liquid.

So in answer to your question, butane is compound that comes from a fossil fuel, and can be both a liquid and a gas depending on the pressure and temperature.

Natural gas is mostly methane and ethane, with small amounts of butane and propane, so it is usually stored as a gas phase. Crude oil has many hydrocarbon compounds heavier than butane, so it remains a liquid.

1 mole of methane (CH4) reacts with 2 moles of oxygen (O2) to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 2 moles of water (H2O). The reaction is balanced with respect to the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation.

No, a propane regulator is designed for use with propane gas cylinders and should not be used with an acetylene tank. Acetylene requires specialized equipment, including a regulator specifically designed for acetylene to ensure safe and proper gas flow control. Mixing up regulators for different gases can be dangerous and lead to equipment failure.
