Is methane organic or inorgaic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

DEFINITELY Organic. because it contains carbon(C) as CH4 .

Remember in chemistry

#1 ; ORGANIC is the chemistry of CARBON compounds

#2 ; INORGANIC is the chemistry of all other non-carbon containing compounds.

#3 ; PHYSICAL the chemistry of energy , calculations, stoichiometry, reaction equations.

Is carbohydrate aromatic or aliphatic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All the carbohydrates are aliphatic compounds.

In a molecule of methane carbon (having four valence electrons) binds to four hydrogen atoms. How many lone pairs of electrons will be represented in the Lewis structure of methane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NONE!!! Each bonding electron in carbon is paired with the bonding electron in each of the four hydrogens. So there are no lone pairs.

These denote a family of organic compounds known as aldehydes. Each Aldehyde consists of two groups of which one is CxHyOz.

C is Carbon

H is Hydrogen

O is Oxygen

x, y, z denote the number of atoms in the group bonded together.

Is cyclohexane and alkane or alkene?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cyclohexane is a six-carbon cyclic compound with the formula C6H12. In its planar representation, it looks like a regular hexagon, but in its 3D representation, it takes on either a chair or boat conformation. It has many uses in organic and analytical chemistry. For more information, see the link below.

What causes a grain silo explosion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Too much grain dust.

A spark in grain dust will create a 'flash'. There by an explosion.

In coal mines, miners referred to 'fire damp' . This is a mixture of very fine coal dust particles, methane and oxygen. A spark across it would cause a big explosion.

Miners tested for 'fire damp' using canaries (birds). Canaries are very sensative to atmospheric changes. In a coal mine if 'fire damp' is prersent the canary would possibly faint and fall off its perch, until restored to clean oxygen(air).

Have you ever seen the 'custard tin' explosion. The very fine particles of custard powder, could be ignited and blow the lid off the tin.

What is the IUPAC name of CH3-CH--CH-CHO?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

'But-2-enal'

Reason

#1 it has the aldehyde functional group at the end of the chain (R- CHO)

#2 it has a double carbon-carbon bond on carbon no. 2. Hence the '-en al ' in the spelling as it is an alkene too!!!!!

What is the iupac name of CH3CH2COOH?

Asked by Wiki User

iupac name is butanedioic acid (according to wikipedia)

but usually is called succinic acid

All molecules that do not contain carbon belong to what branch of chemistry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

INORGANIC CHemistry.

The chemistry of carbon molecules is ORGANIC Chemistry.

There is a thirs branch of chemistry it is 'PHYSICAL Chemistry', dealing with calculation, energy changes etc.,

What is propyl methanoate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Propyl methanoate forms, when propan-1-ol is refluxed with methanoic acid (formic acid). Methanoic acid is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis, and can be found in the venom of bee stings. The chemical equation for this reaction is as follows: CH3CH2CH2OH + HCOOH --> CH3CH2CH2-O-HCO CH3CH2CH2 = propyl group -O-HCO = methanoate group

Are eyedrops made with polypropylene glycol safe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, polypropylene glycol is generally considered safe in eye drops. It's commonly used as a lubricant and to help dissolve certain medications in eye drop formulations. If you have specific concerns or conditions, it's always best to consult with an eye care professional.

If you break a compound down by using heat it is called?

Asked by Wiki User

Solids melt on heating. A2. But if you are thinking of the destruction of the material, perhaps pyrolysis is what you seek.

Is CH3CH2OH a strong acid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Definitely NOT a STRONG ACID.

#However it will act as a weak base when react with an orgsnic acid. to produc the corresponding salt and water.

e.g.

Methanoic Acid + Ethanol = Ethylmethanoate + water

HCOOH + CH3CH2OH HCOOCH2CH3 + H2O

How do you write the formula of a polymer?

User Avatar

Asked by Juliet7711

--(-CH2 - CH(CH3)-)-- n

This is polypropylene.

polystyrene is the same except the (CH3) is replaced by a phenyl group

--(-CH2 - CH(C6H5)-)--n

PVC (polyvinyl chloride

--(-CH2 - CH(Cl)-)-- n

The 'n' represents any number(n) of monomer units. Maybe thousands or millions.

What is but-2-en-1-al?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it is true . According to latest IUPAC rules of 1993 2-butenal is more precisely written as but-2-en-1-alIt is dehydrated product of aldol. Common name is crotonaldehyde but-2-en-1-al & but-2-enal both are 100 % correct because their meaning is same & is a unique name Ref : latest Rules of IUPAC published in 1993

Where do you buy your chemicals from and how quick is the shipping?

User Avatar

Asked by Kaxol

I buy my research chemicals from Syntharise.com and they ship with 24 hours and ship worldwide depending on where you're located. They include the H-NMR which is a bonus. Nice selection of rare chems for a low price and Pagoclone is one of them.

What common household chemical can be used as an antacid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sodium bi-carbonate, other wise known as sodium hydrogen carbonate, or baking soda.

When the stomach makes too much acid, from overeating, refluxing/heartburn can occur.

The stomach naturally makes hydrochloric acid as part of the normal digestion process. However, if you vomit or reflux, that horrible burning sensation in the mouth or throat is hydrochloric acid.

Chemically , when you react a carbonate with an acid its products are a 'salt', plus water plus carbon dioxide.

So in ingesting sodium bicarbonate it reacts with the stomach acid, to form the 'salt' plus water , plus carbon dioxide (The burp!!!!

Here is the chemical equation.

HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) = NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g).

however the human organism does NOT like too much salt (NaCl), so a better remedy is magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate. The resultant magnesium chloride or calcium chloride are less harmful to the human organism.

However, in taking magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate, they have a horrible chalky taste, but do the job. Magnesium carbonate is sold as 'milk of magnesia', this also contains magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2).

What does an anion always have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A negative charge.

Cl^- , O^2- , N^3- etc., are anions.

By comparison,

Na^+ ., Mg^2+ . Al^3+ etc., are cations.

Collectively , anions, and cations are named as 'ions'.

What is para-phthalic acid?

User Avatar

Asked by DrAziz

Para-phthalic acid" is not a commonly recognized chemical compound or term. It seems like there might be a misunderstanding or a typographical error in the name you're referring to. If you have a different chemical or substance in mind, please provide the correct name, and I'd be happy to provide information about it
