If the fuel is burned with a limited supply of oxygen, incomplete combustion can occur and the following pollutants can be formed: soot – unburned carbon which leaves as dirty particles. What do unburnt hydrocarbons do? Unburnt hydrocarbons (UHCs) are the hydrocarbons emitted after petroleum is burned in an engine.Read More →
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene and toluene (BT) are ubiquitous toxic pollutants in the environment. Is BTEX a type of PAH? Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX) Contamination of Soils in Automobile Mechanic Workshops in Port-Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State, Nigeria. had the highest concentration ofRead More →
Longer hydrocarbon molecules have a stronger intermolecular force. More energy is needed to move them apart so they have higher boiling points . This makes them less volatile and therefore less flammable . Which alkane is the most flammable? Methane through Butane are very flammable gases at standard temperature andRead More →
silane, also called Silicon Hydride, any of a series of covalently bonded compounds containing only the elements silicon and hydrogen, having the general formula SinH2n+2, in which n equals 1, 2, 3, and so on. The silanes are structural analogues of the saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) but are much less stable.Read More →
Aliphatic hydrocarbons are divided into three main groups according to the types of bonds they contain: alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Alkanes have only single bonds, alkenes contain a carbon-carbon double bond, and alkynes contain a carbon-carbon triple bond. Can carbon only form hydrogen bonds? Carbon forms 4 bonds with otherRead More →
