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.

What is the name of the polymer made from butene?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Butadiene is a non-corrosive gas that condenses to a liquid and is used to make polymers. Butadiene polymers include neoprene, styrene-butadiene rubber, and nitrile rubber.

What is the atomic number of Ethane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ethanol is a compound, not an element and so does not have an atomic number. It is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which have the atomic numbers 6, 1, and 8 respectively.

Is hydrocarbon is dangerous to humans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If by hydrocarbons you mean fossil fuels like oil and natural gas, yes, they can be. However, without hydrocarbons, life would be very much more difficult and there would be a lot fewer humans.

Hydrocarbons, typically, are not highly poisonous. Natural gas can displace oxygen in high concentrations and cause suffocation, and petroleum distillates can irritate digestive tissues if swallowed, and cause edema if inhaled.

Their main danger is that they are flammable. Natural gas explosions kill hundreds of people every year, and many others are burned by distillate fires.

Another danger in rich countries is hydrocarbons reduce, sometimes sharply, the amount of exercise people get, leading to diseases like diabetes and hypertension.

What is Secondary standard solution in volumetric analysis with example?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Primary standard is a chemical entity available with highest purity and stability with high molecular weight. e.g. KHP, NaCl, Calcium salt used in standardisation of volumetric solution.

Secondary standards are compounds used in analysis after evaluation against primary standards. e.g.- NaOH VS, Sodium thiosulphate VS

In methane the total number of groups of electrons on the central atom is?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are four pairs of electrons around the central carbon atom of methane. These pairs each consist of one electron originally from the carbon and one from the hydrogen atom bonded to it.

Though the question only considers the outer shell of electrons, as that is the only shell used for bonding, it may be useful to remember that in methane the carbon atom has a total of ten electrons around it, due to its two inner electrons.

What is the molecule shape of butane?

Where do the carbon dioxide and methane greenhouse gases come from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Greenhouse gases are caused by pollution such as car fumes, power plants and even animals. the worst greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide or CO2 which lasts for about 100 years in the atmosphere. Also there is methane. Methane is more powerful than CO2 but lasts only for 10 to 15 years.

They are harmful to the environment as they heat up our planet. They stop the suns rays getting back into space once they bounce back from the earth.

From highest to lowest mass of carbon dioxide emitted:

# The Oceans

# Insects

# Humans

How do you repair a clogged-up butane lighter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Make a small key leaked through the valve, tighten the fill port, ready, taken the leak your pencil torch this new, also you can take the small silver repair inside of sink and clean it, now just carries you with gas and use it normally.

Asked by Wiki User

It ranges quite a bit based on energy cost fluctuations and also varies based on each supplier's fees. Right now (Jan 2013) most people pay 2.25 to 3.00 a gallon

Can hydrocarbon mixture conduct electricity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As there are no free electrons to carry the electric current, hydrocarbons cannot conduct electricity (whether molten or not).

How do you convert ethane to ethyl amine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

CH3CH3 + Br2 + hv ==> CH3CH2Br (free radical halogenation)


CH3CH2Br + NH3 ==> CH3CH2NH2 (Sn2)

Is butane an atom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Butane is a compound and therefore is not present as an atom but as a molecule - which is more than one atom combined with another.

Explain why alkenes tend to react with electrophiles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alkenes are unsaturated compounds with carbon-carbon double bond. Double bonds can be considered to be electron clouds around the carbon atoms and are electron rich and hence they undergo electrophilic addition.

What is the main function of methane gas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main function of use of methane gas is that it is the main constituent of the natural gas which is used as a fuel in automobiles and for domestic uses as well. It is very clean and also provides a high calorific value.

What is hydrocarbon gas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An example of a hydrocarbon is methane. Like all hydrocarbons, it is composed entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are used for fuel. When burned in combination with oxygen, hydrocarbons give off energy in the form of heat while combining with the oxygen to become carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
