hydrocarbon
any compound that is formed from carbon and hydrogen only.
alkanes
methane= CH4
ethane=C2H6
propane=C3H8
butane=C4H10
homologous series
groups of organic compounds/molecules with similar properties that react in similar way due to same functional groups
alkane general formula
CnH2n+2
why are alkanes saturated compounds
there are no double bonds
as chain length increases
boiling point increase
what state are alkanes
gas as short chains
shorter alkanes are more
volatile and flammable
longer alkanes are more
viscous
complete combustion
hydrocarbon+oxygen—>carbon dioxide+water
exothermic as releases a lot of energy
complete combustion of propane
C3H8+5O2—>3CO2+4H2)
what are hydrocarbons main use
fuel
