Researchers have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons -- compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. For the first ...

This innovative bismuth oxide catalyst allows for the selective combustion of acetylene, potentially transforming industrial ...

Note that a double bond between two of the carbon atoms in one of the hydrocarbon (fatty acid) tails causes a slight kink on this molecule, so it appears bent.

It is remarkable that the water contact angle did not increase even when they used perfluorinated hydrocarbon chains for grafting, i.e., substituting hydrogen atoms with fluorine. In materials ...

Hydrocarbons are a class of chemicals made up of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. They can range from a simple gas, such as ...

Add up the atomic masses of the atoms in the empirical formula. The empirical formula of a hydrocarbon is CH 2 and its M r is 42. the mass of the atoms in the empirical formula is 14 42 ÷ 14 = 3 ...

Researchers have discovered how a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons, which ...

A system inspired by photosynthesis is to be used to produce synthetic fuels. It also provides valuable by-products.

Unlike most metal catalysts, which can only convert CO₂ into single-carbon molecules, the copper flowers enable the formation of more complex hydrocarbons with two carbon atoms, such as ethane ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to ...

“No one else has shown that you could combust one hydrocarbon present in low concentrations, in mixtures with others,” said Aditya Bhan, a Distinguished McKnight University Professor in the ...
