  3. Isopentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopentane

    Isopentane is a major component (sometimes 30% or more) of natural gasoline, an analog of common petroleum-derived gasoline that is condensed from natural gas. [4] Its share in commercial car fuel is highly variable: 19–45% in 1990s Sweden, [ 13 ] 4–31% in 1990s US [ 14 ] and 3.6–11% in the US in 2011. [ 15 ]

  4. Chemosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosynthesis

    Venenivibrio stagnispumantis gains energy by oxidizing hydrogen gas.. In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in ...

  5. Photosynthetic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

    The following is a breakdown of the energetics of the photosynthesis process from Photosynthesis by Hall and Rao: [6]. Starting with the solar spectrum falling on a leaf, 47% lost due to photons outside the 400–700 nm active range (chlorophyll uses photons between 400 and 700 nm, extracting the energy of one 700 nm photon from each one)

  6. Isobutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobutane

    Isobutane, also known as i-butane, 2-methylpropane or methylpropane, is a chemical compound with molecular formula HC(CH 3) 3. It is an isomer of butane. Isobutane is a colorless, odorless gas. It is the simplest alkane with a tertiary carbon atom.

  7. Free-radical halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_halogenation

    In organic chemistry, free-radical halogenation is a type of halogenation. This chemical reaction is typical of alkanes and alkyl -substituted aromatics under application of UV light . The reaction is used for the industrial synthesis of chloroform (CHCl 3 ), dichloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2 ), and hexachlorobutadiene .

  8. Chloromethyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloromethyl_group

    The naming of this group is derived from the methyl group (which has the formula −CH 3), by replacing one hydrogen atom by a chlorine atom. Compounds with this group are a subclass of the organochlorines. The way of introducing a chloromethyl group into aromatic compounds is the chloromethylation by the Blanc reaction. [1]

  9. Photochlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochlorination

    The photochlorination of hydrocarbon is unselective, although the reactivity of the C-H bonds is tertiary>secondary>primary. At 30 °C the relative reaction rates of primary, secondary and tertiary hydrogen atoms are in a relative ratio of approximately 1 to 3.25 to 4.43. The C-C bonds remain unaffected. [9] [10]
