  3. Homologous series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologous_series

    The homologous series of straight-chained alkanes begins methane (CH 4), ethane (C 2 H 6), propane (C 3 H 8), butane (C 4 H 10), and pentane (C 5 H 12). In that series, successive members differ in mass by an extra methylene bridge (-CH 2 - unit) inserted in the chain. Thus the molecular mass of each member differs by 14 atomic mass units ...

    Alkanes form a small portion of the atmospheres of the outer gas planets such as Jupiter (0.1% methane, 2 ppm ethane), Saturn (0.2% methane, 5 ppm ethane), Uranus (1.99% methane, 2.5 ppm ethane) and Neptune (1.5% methane, 1.5 ppm ethane). Titan (1.6% methane), a satellite of Saturn, was examined by the Huygens probe, which indicated that Titan ...

    Some large-scale non-fuel applications of hydrocarbons begin with ethane and propane, which are obtained from petroleum and natural gas. These two gases are converted either to syngas or to ethylene and propylene respectively. Global consumption of benzene in 2021 is estimated at more than 58 million metric tons, which will increase to 60 ...

    LPG is composed mainly of propane and butane, while natural gas is composed of the lighter methane and ethane. LPG, vaporised and at atmospheric pressure, has a higher calorific value (46 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 12.8 kWh/m 3) than natural gas (methane) (38 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 10.6 kWh/m 3), which means that LPG cannot simply be substituted for ...

  9. Butane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane

    The other hydrocarbons in NG include propane, ethane, and especially methane, which are more abundant. Liquefied petroleum gas is a mixture of propane and some butanes. [6] The name butane comes from the root but-(from butyric acid, named after the Greek word for butter) and the suffix -ane (for organic compounds).
