When we use hydrocarbons as fuels they produce particulates (small particles of solids e.g. soot). What environmental problem is caused by the release of these solids?
Q.2.
What is a hydrocarbon?
Q.3.
Some properties of hydrocarbons depend on the size of their molecules. These properties influence how hydrocarbons are used as fuels. A hydrocarbon with 30 carbon atoms is unlikely to be used as a fuel in vehicles. Why not?
Q.4.
There are environmental costs when using hydrocarbons as fuels. Using them in this way produces a number of pollutants. Which one of the following contributes to acid rain?
Q.5.
Which of these is the correct equation for the complete combustion of propane?
