What are some characteristics of substituted hydrocarbons esters and polymers?

∙ 8y ago
The chlorine and benzine combination called?æparadichlorbenzine, found in cleaning agents, is an example of a substituted hydrocarbon. A substituted hydrocarbon contains a hydrogen substituted with atom or group of atoms.

∙ 15y agoAn ester is created when an alcohol (an Organic compound with a hydroxyl group (-OH)) reacts with an organic acid (an organic compound with a carboxyl group, which has the formula (-COOH)). Esters are usually quite aromatic and are found naturally in wine and fruits.

∙ 8y agoIf just one atom of another element is substituted for a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon, a different compound is created. Many esters have pleasant, fruity smells. Organic compounds, such as alcohols, esters, and others, can be linked together to build polymers with thousands or even millions of atoms.

What are the properties of candle and kerosene?
KerosineKerosene is a thin, clear liquid formed from hydrocarbons, with density of 0.78-0.81 g/cm3. It is obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between 150 °C and 275 °C, resulting in a mixture of carbon chains that typically contain between 6 and 16 carbon atoms per molecule. The flash point of kerosene is between 37 and 65 °C (100 and 150 °F) and its autoignition temperature is 220 °C (428 °F). The heat of combustion of kerosene is similar to that of diesel: its lower heating value is around 18,500 Btu/lb, or 43.1 MJ/kg, and its higher heating value is 46.2 MJ/kg. Kerosene is immiscible in water (cold or hot), but miscible in petroleum solvents.CandleChemically, a wax is a type of lipid that may contain a wide variety of long-chain alkanes, esters, polyesters and hydroxy esters of long-chain primary alcohols and fatty acids. They are usually distinguished from fats by the lack of triglyceride esters of glycerin (propan-1,2,3-triol) and three fatty acids. In addition to the esters that contribute to the high melting point and hardness of carnauba wax, the epicuticular waxes of plants are mixtures of substituted long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons, containing alkanes, fatty acids, primary and secondary alcohols, diols, ketones, aldehydes. Paraffin waxes are hydrocarbons, mixtures of alkanes usually in a homologous series of chain lengths.
What kinds of substituted hydrocarbon to form an ester?
An ester is created when an alcohol (an Organic compound with a hydroxyl group (-OH)) reacts with an organic acid (an organic compound with a carboxyl group, which has the formula (-COOH)). Esters are usually quite aromatic and are found naturally in wine and fruits.

Wax is chemically mixture of?
Exact chemical mixtures or ratios of chemicals depend on the type of wax, whether they be animal waxes, vegetable waxes, mineral waxes, petroleum waxes, or synthetic waxes. Natural waxes such as animal waxes tend to have a greater variation in wax composition while synthetic waxes generally have less. Chemically, a wax is a type of lipid that may contain a wide variety of long-chain alkanes, esters, polyesters and hydroxy esters of long-chain primary alcohols and fatty acids. They are usually distinguished from fats by the lack of triglyceride esters of glycerin (propan-1,2,3-triol) and three fatty acids.

What is the chemicals which give fruits their smell?
Such compounds are mostly esters.
Do esters react with sodium carbonate?
No, but esters do react with some acids.
Are esters ionic?
No, esters are covalent compounds having polar character.
Why are esters unable to form hydrogen bonds with other esters?
Esters cannot form hydrogen bonds with other esters because there wouldn't be enough room on the molecules to support the hydrogen bonding (octet rule).
What describes esters?
Esters are compounds that form when organic acids react with alcohols.
What major types of food are esters?
Esters are flavorings. They are also used with perfumes.
Are esters acids bases or neutral?
Esters are neutral compounds
