Class 11

Alkane vapours travel over red-hot metal in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the breakdown of the compound into simpler hydrocarbons.  There is no catalyst used in this process, which takes place at extremely high temperatures and pressures.  Because of the low temperatures and pressures involved in this reaction, the presence of a catalyst such […]

Pyrolysis is derived from the Greek components pyro, which means “fire,” and lysis, which means “separating.” Normally, it is employed in the production of organic materials. As opposed to combustion reactions, it occurs in the absence of air, which distinguishes it from them. The oxidation of chemicals is prevented as a result of this. Cracking

Propane is a gas with three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms that occurs naturally. Along with butane and combinations of these gases, it is classed as LPG. Liquefied petroleum gas is another name for propane. Natural gas processing and petroleum refining both produce propane as a by-product. To prevent condensation of these volatiles in

What is Methane? Discovered by an Italian physicist named Alessandro Volta in the year 1776 was the simplest form of saturated hydrocarbons called Methane. Methane is an odourless gas with no colour. It has four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom which is why it is also called a tetrahedral molecule. The chemical formula of

Alkanes are a kind of hydrocarbon, which are organic molecules made up exclusively of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They’re also known as saturated hydrocarbons since they exclusively have C-C single bonds. Alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic chemicals are examples of additional hydrocarbon sub-categories. Because they contain C-C double and C-C triple bonds, this category is referred

Carbon dioxide is a chemical molecule that occurs naturally and plays an important part in the Earth’s environment. It is required for photosynthesis, which is required for all plants to exist. Carbon dioxide also aids in the regulation of the planet’s and atmosphere’s temperatures. They’re known as greenhouse gases because they let sunlight in but

An alkane sometimes known as paraffin which is a historical term having multiple meanings is the acyclic saturated hydrocarbon in organic chemistry. To put it another way, the alkane is made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in the tree structure having single carbon and carbon bonds. Alkanes have the typical chemical formula CnH2n+2.

Alkanes are organic compounds consisting entirely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and have no additional functional groups. Alkanes are divided into three groups: linear straight-chain alkanes, branched alkanes, and cycloalkanes. They have the general formula CnH2n+2. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons as well. Alkanes are the most basic and least reactive hydrocarbons, consisting completely of

Ozone (O3) is a gas molecule of three oxygen atoms. Ozone, or “smog,” is harmful to the lungs—chemical reactions between ozone and lung tissue cause it to aggressively attack. When ozone is present, the same processes create other harmful pollutants. The stratospheric ozone layer protects us from most UV rays. However, ozone air pollution in

Carbon, as a member of the periodic table’s group 14, produces a variety of compounds with oxygen termed carbon oxides. As a result, carbon oxides are organic molecules composed entirely of carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the two most often encountered carbon oxides (CO2).
