1
New cards
what happens as the length of the hydrocarbon chain increases?
the properties change
2
New cards
how does length affect viscosity of a hydrocarbon?
the shorter the chain, the runnier a hydrocarbon is
3
New cards
how does length affect flammability of a hydrocarbon?
the shorter the chain, the more flammable it is
4
New cards
how does length affect boiling point?
the longer the chain, the higher the boiling point (stronger intermolecular force, more energy is needed to move them apart, so they have higher boiling points)
5
New cards
what does the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels do?
releases energy
6
New cards
what happens during the combustion of hydrocarbons?
the carbon and hydrogen in the fuels are oxidised
7
New cards
what does the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produce?
carbon dioxide and water
