Water solubility and Henry’s law constant in alkanes found in crude oil have been calculated and set in an easy-to-use table. Water solubility and Henry’s law constant in alkanes found in ...
(3) Why do polyhedranes have higher melting points than linear alkanes of similar size ... of methane in different topologies (Supplementary Table S2) are roughly 20% smaller at the MP2/6-311 ...
The degradation mechanisms associated with long-chain (LC) and branched alkanes are less well understood ... this study are listed in Supplementary Table 3 and the Supplementary Methods.
The general formula for the alkanes is C n H 2n+2 (where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule). The table shows four alkanes, their molecular formulae, displayed formulae and structural ...
An unsolved challenge in catalysis is the efficient and selective functionalization of simple alkanes and plentiful hydrocarbon feedstocks. One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of ...

The rapid disappearance of the amber color of the bromine at room temperature is characteristic of reaction with alkenes. (colorless) (purple) (colorless) (brown ppt.) Reaction of an alkene with ...
Researchers now report a new light-driven enzyme: Christened fatty acid photodecarboxylase (FAP), it uses blue light to drive the removal of carboxyl groups from fatty acids to form alkanes or ...
The longest unbranched chain containing the functional group is the parent molecule, or simply the longest unbranched chain for alkanes. Remember that, the longest chain can go round a bend.
Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...
