Volatile hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that are liquid at normal pressure and temperature but have a high vapor pressure and therefore evaporate rapidly. Some examples of volatile hydrocarbons include toluene, methylene chloride, and acetone.

∙ 10y agoThere are a very broad range of chemicals that fall under the heading of hydrocarbons. Many hydrocarbons, such as methane, gasoline, etc., are quite volatile, but tar is also a mixture of hydrocarbons, and it is not volatile.

What is the most volatile element besides the hydrocarbons?
I can tell you one thing for certain: hydrocarbons aren't elements. They're made of hydrogen and carbon, both of which are elements themselves.
What are some properties of hydrocarbons?
1- they are either gases , volatile liquids, or soft solids 2-they are insoluble in water 3-they are low melting or low boiling
Is DRAM volatile or non volatile?
DRAM is volatile.
What do you call a substance that evaporates easily?
Volatile
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
Why petrol is a volatile liquid?
because it has short-chain hydrocarbons

What is the effect of volatile substances and water on calorific value of coal?
Volatile elements (hydrocarbons) increase the value, moisture takes up space, absorbs heat and lowers the value.
What substance makes fire grow faster?
Various volatile hydrocarbons will do this, such as gasoline, kerosene, etc. You also need oxygen present
Heating what will cause it t break down into water and carbon?
Hydrocarbons and/or carbohydrates. Any volatile liquid, like ethane, ethonyl, gasoline, etc.
Which hydrocarbon is most volatile and which is least volatile?
Most - CH4 Least - unanswerable as so very many high molecular weight hydrocarbons have almost no vapour pressure. Hydrocarbon would include compounds such as macro-molecules of rubbers and other 3 dimensional polymers.
What has the author David F LaBranche written?
David F. LaBranche has written: 'Stripping volatile organic compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons from water by tray aeration' -- subject(s): Air stripping process, Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Volatile organic compounds, Hazardous waste site remediation, Purification, Volatile organic compounds, Water
Does marvel mystery oil contain alcohol?
Not exactly. According to the MSDS, the 3 volatile ingredients are: Mineral Spirits, Naptha, and Chlorinated Hydrocarbons. The first two are petroleum based.
What are some properties of hydrocarbons?
1- they are either gases , volatile liquids, or soft solids 2-they are insoluble in water 3-they are low melting or low boiling
What is petrolium ether?
Petroleum ether is a mixture of volatile hydrocarbons. Most of the time when it's called for in an experiment it's simply being used as a solvent; pentane or hexane generally work just as well.
Difference between fixed carbon and carbon in ultimate analysis?
There will be difference in value of fixed carbon and carbon in ultimate analysis as some carbon is lost in hydrocarbons in volatile matter. Fixed carbon is arrived by substracting the volatile matter. Utimate analysis ditermines the total carbon content which includes the carbon present in volatile matter. Fixed carbon is useful to know how much coke can be generated out of coking coal.
Why are green logs of wood used while polling in metallurgical process instead of hydrocarbons directly?
Green logs are used because logs of green wood absorb oxides and other volatile impurities effectively.
