- CnH2+2
- Alkanes
- Hydrocarbons
- Only contain hydrogen and carbon atoms
- hydrocarbon properties change as the chains get longer
- The shorter the carbon chain the more runny a hydrocarbon is - less viscous
- Hydrocarbons with shorter carbon chains are also more volatile, i.e they have lower boiling points
- The shorter the chain gets the more flammable the hydrocarbon is
- The properties of hydrocarbons affects their use as a fuel - e.g. short chains with lower boiling points are used as bottled gases (stored under pressure as liquids in bottles)
- hydrocarbon properties change as the chains get longer
- Only contain hydrogen and carbon atoms
- Cracking
- Cracking is splitting up long chains of hydrocarbons
- It's a thermal decomposition reaction
- Alkanes
