Hello, I want to study for a chemistry exam and have just completed task 2: I'm very unsure about my solution. Could you please improve my solutions if necessary. a) 3-Ethyl-2-Methylbutane b)2-Methyl-3-Dimethyl-4-Methylpentane c)4Butyl-3Ethyl-2-Methylhexane Thanks 🙂
My specific question is why I need to cool the U-tube (in which I have my water detection) thoroughly when burning methane. What are the effects of this, and would the water detection fail if the U-tube weren't cooled? The methane gas reacts to form water (and carbon dioxide) anyway, regardless of the temperature, right?
If you burn 100 liters of methane, how much CO2 is produced? For each molecule of methane, one molecule of CO2 is produced. Shouldn't that also produce 100 liters, or am I making a mistake?
Do you have a mnemonic or a saying for the alkanes methane to decane from the homogeneous series?
Hello, I have a question about the formation of methane. I read that methane is formed when biological waste isn't dispersed by oxygen, so bacteria somehow decompose the residue, creating methane. Can someone explain this to me in more detail?
Hey, I am currently working on the following task and wanted to ask if someone can help me with this task and explain it well. If you want to fill a cylinder with methane, you have to fill the cylinder with the opening Fill from the bottom? Explain your answer.
Because there is also liquid methane.
Can someone convert that into farting cattle and tell me how much CO2 would have to be saved to compensate for the environmental damage? In the course of a war, not everything can be allowed, otherwise nuclear weapons will be used next!
Hello, I'm in 10th grade and will be giving a presentation about methane tomorrow. I learned that methane is non-polar and forms a covalent bond. A covalent bond forms when atoms share their outer electrons (please correct me if I'm wrong). My problem is the non-polar aspect. I read that it means that a molecule…
