Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).
Explanation:
All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.
Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.
Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases
Why do so many storms target the state? The easterly winds typically blowing across Jacksonville in the summer flow out of the Azores/Bermuda high-pressure system which also steers many hurricanes into the Gulf. In June and October, storms are more likely to move up the Gulf from the south and southwest.
the fire spreading is what represents the form of heat transferring from one atom to another within an object and direct contact
Compound is formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together. elements are made of atoms
Most metamorphic processes takes place few kilometers below the Earth's surface. Thus, "metamorphic rocks" are formed under conditions found few kilometers under the Earth's surface.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction of sediments. Two main groups of sedimentary rocks are clastic sedimentary rocks and chemical sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphism refers to the changes in the mineral composition of the rocks. The three agents of metamorphism are heat, pressure and water.
The conversion of one form of rock to another is referred as rock cycle. In a rock cycle, an igneous rock formed from the deposition of molten magma can get converted into sedimentary rock when igneous rock breaks down into pieces and sediments. Finally, the any sedimentary rock or igneous rock can undergo metamorphosis to form metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rock can again form igneous rock by melting of magma followed by crystallization.
