Hydrocarbon

Fossil Fuels are organic deposits derived from decaying plants and animals that have been fossilized over millions of years. There is more to them than that however they are also hydrocarbons comprised primarily of the following elements: carbon and hydrogen and some sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and minerals. Different combinations of these elements are used as a fuel for our everyday lives. This paper’s purpose is to explain some of the chemistry behind the use of these various fossil fuels as…

carbon chain will have a higher heat of combustion, because as there are more carbon atoms, more energy will be released as a result of the breaking of the covalent bonding and the forming of bonding as the final product. INTRODUCTION Fuels are hydrocarbons…

oil and to go along with that, 2 million gallons of chemical dispersants to the Gulf. A major group of crude oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) was discovered along the northern shorelines of the Gulf of Mexico. PAH effected several species of wildlife including Dolphins, the Tundra Peregrine Falcon, and shrimp. PAH or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, concentration levels in May 2010 were higher than in May 2011, a mere five times higher, which indicates…

The atomic number of 45 belongs to the element rhodium which is derived from the Greek word Rhodon meaning rose. It was first discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, an English chemist. it is known as one of the PGM (platinum-group metals). Canada, Russia and south Africa are one of the top three producers of rhodium as south Africa as main exporter. It is usually found together with other PGMs as ores mined in its reserves. People who love jewelries are often attracted to the rarity of…

(28) Numerical Solution Approach: Elimination of the equilibrium reactions term from equation 25 using ERA matrix reduced the discretized equation to only primary aqueous component. Then, the number of all conservation equations including hydrocarbon and aqueous components becomes N_ia+N_c. There are N_tot=N_ia+3N_(c )+5+ R_aq+N_m equations that can be used to find solution to the same number of unknown variables as summarized…

activity. We observed a similar catalytic activity between the reduced olivine and the nickel-based catalysts tested previously [40], i.e. negligible production of hydrocarbons CH4, C2H4 and C2H6 and maximum production of hydrogen. Whereas their production is tiny even at very short reaction times, results in Figure 5 show that hydrocarbons could be fully cracked provided long enough reaction time was available. The product gases reached the equilibrium state at much longer reaction times…

Globally, they have dominant market share in the natural gas industry. This is because as they own a large natural gas and hydrocarbon reserves, which gave them a huge platform for growth. Imitability: Gazprom’s resources and capabilities are hard and expensive to imitate. This is because the company owns a gas transport infrastructure and a resource base of large natural hydrocarbon and gas reserves. Furthermore, Gazprom’s performance is hard to overtake since they have the resources, strong…

2.4. Hydrocarbon potential Previous work reveals presence of mature sedimentary sequence was derived from Jurassic to lower cretaceous periods in the north part of Lake Malawi which has hydrocarbon reservoir prospects. Existence of thick sedimentary sequence rock could possibly trap hydrocarbon especially in lower Shire valley, northern of Lake Malawi. Presence of large proportion volcanic clasts interbedded with sedimentary rocks transported by rivers present for extensive alluvial plain…

A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases chemical energy as heat. Fuels can range from solid forms such as coal, liquid forms such as LPG & gas forms such as propane (you, 2017). Most of the fuels used are fossil fuels. Over 81% of America’s fuels are fossil fuels, these include fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. Fossil fuels are fuels that are extracted from the earth, this means that they are a limited resource. This creates the need for…

Cholesterol has a unique structure that includes four linked hydrocarbon rings forming the steroid structure. The hydrocarbon tail links to one end of the steroid and a hydroxyl group linked to other end. While the hydroxyl group is able to form hydrogen bonds with nearby carbonyl oxygen of phospholipid. Additionally, cholesterol is an amphipathic macromolecule because it has a water-soluble polar region that dissolves in water, but almost the entire is non-polar which does not dissolves in…
