use of hydrocarbons

(i) By ozonolysis of alkenes Alkenes react with ozone to form ozonides which on subsequent reductive cleavage with zinc dust and water or H 2 /Pd give aldehydes, Ketones or a mixture of both depending on the substitution pattern of the alkene. (ii) By hydration of alkynes Ethynes adds water in..

b) Wolff - Kishner reduction use by hydrazine followed by heating with potassium hydroxide in high boiling solvent ethylene glycol...

The explosive nature of a hydrocarbon is determined by its volatility. The volatility of any liquid depends upon the temperature. 'The flash point of any liquid is the lowest temperature at which a liquid hydrocarbon gives off enough vapor to form an explosive mixture with air'...

Introduction - Man's quest for sources of energy is inexhaustible. Early man depended mainly on muscular energy and later began to use wind and flowing water as sources of energy. He learned the art of making and controlling fire. Fire became his source of light at night. He used..

From Hydrocarbons - (i) By ozonolysis of alkenes Alkenes react with ozone to form ozonides which on subsequent reductive cleavage with zinc dust and water or H 2 /Pd give aldehydes, Ketones or a mixture of both depending on the substitution pattern of the alkene. (ii) By hydration of alky..

PAHs are formed by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, and can be isolated from the processing of fossil fuels. Many of these compounds have no use other than research. There are some, however, that are important in the making of pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics, and pesticid..

Plants on which we depend for food are under attack from insects, fungi, bacteria, viruses, rodents and other animals, and must compete with weeds for nutrients. To kill unwanted populations living in or on their crops, farmers use pesticides. The first widespread insecticide use..

Polyhalogen Derivatives - Carbon tetrachloride - Many polyhalogenated hydrocarbons find important use as industrial solvents, pesticides, refrigerants, medicines, inert lining of cooking utensils, etc. Some useful chloro compounds a..

Nitro compounds are named by using the prefix nitro before the name of parent hydrocarbon. Aliphatic nitro compounds are called nitroalkanes while aromatic nitro compounds are called nitroarene..

Hydrocarbon based natural oil trapped in deeper layers of earth's crust is useful to produce many refined petroleum products such as high speed diesel, petrol. Petrol and diesel are commonly burnt in automotive vehicles to generate power for movemen..
