  2. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    In the fossil fuel industries, hydrocarbon refers to naturally occurring petroleum, natural gas and coal, or their hydrocarbon derivatives and purified forms. Combustion of hydrocarbons is the main source of the world's energy. Petroleum is the dominant raw-material source for organic commodity chemicals such as solvents and polymers.

  3. Ligroin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligroin

    Ligroin is the petroleum fraction consisting mostly of C 7 and C 8 hydrocarbons and boiling in the range 90‒140 °C (194–284 °F). The fraction is also called heavy naphtha. [1] [2] Ligroin is used as a laboratory solvent. Products under the name ligroin can have boiling ranges as low as 60‒80 °C and may be called light naphtha.

    For chains: Identification of the parent hydrocarbon chain. This chain must obey the following rules, in order of precedence: It should have the maximum length. It should have the maximum number of heteroatoms. It should have the maximum number of senior heteroatoms (in order: O, S, N, P, Si, B). For cyclic systems and chains after previous rules:

    The catalyst-hydrocarbon mixture flows upward through the riser for a few seconds, and then the mixture is separated via cyclones. The catalyst-free hydrocarbons are routed to a main fractionator for separation into fuel gas, LPG, gasoline, naphtha, light cycle oils used in diesel and jet fuel, and heavy fuel oil. [citation needed]

  6. Hydrocarbon mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon_mixtures

    A hydrocarbon is any chemical compound that consists only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). They all contain a carbon frame, and have hydrogen atoms attached to the frame. Often the term is used as a shortened form of the term aliphatic hydrocarbon. Most hydrocarbons are combustible. [2]

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  9. Acetylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylene

    It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne. [8] This colorless gas is widely used as a fuel and a chemical building block. It is unstable in its pure form and thus is usually handled as a solution. [9] Pure acetylene is odorless, but commercial grades usually have a marked odor due to impurities such as divinyl sulfide and phosphine. [9] [10]
