Hydrocarbons | MCQs

Explanation

Methane is the simplest of saturated hydrocarbons with a chemical formula CH4.

It consists of four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom.

It is the simplest alkane.

Explanation

• Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with hydrocarbons and their derivatives.
• They are compounds containing carbon and hydrogen atoms.
• It may also contain other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Explanation

The aromatization of n-heptane primarily yields toluene.

This process involves the dehydrogenation and cyclization of n-heptane, facilitated by catalysts like Cr2O3/Al2O3 at elevated temperatures, forming a benzene ring with a methyl substituent.

Explanation

• Hydrocarbon compounds are typically derived from fossil fuels and consist of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
• Examples include fuels like gasoline, natural gas, and propane, as well as waxes like candle wax and paraffin wax.
