  2. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    That is, the heat of combustion, ΔH° comb, is the heat of reaction of the following process: C c H h N n O o (std.) + (c + h ⁄ 4 - o ⁄ 2) O 2 (g) → c CO 2 (g) + h ⁄ 2 H 2 O (l) + n ⁄ 2 N 2 (g) Chlorine and sulfur are not quite standardized; they are usually assumed to convert to hydrogen chloride gas and SO 2 or SO

  3. Ring strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_strain

    The simplest examples of angle strain are small cycloalkanes such as cyclopropane and cyclobutane. Ring strain energy can be attributed to the energy required for the distortion of bond and bond angles in order to close a ring. [3] Ring strain energy is believed to be the cause of accelerated rates in altering ring reactions.

  4. Cycloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkane

    In organic chemistry, the cycloalkanes (also called naphthenes, but distinct from naphthalene) are the monocyclic saturated hydrocarbons. [1] In other words, a cycloalkane consists only of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a structure containing a single ring (possibly with side chains ), and all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single .

  5. Combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion

    The flames caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning) Air pollution abatement equipment provides combustion control for industrial processes.. Combustion, or burning, [1] is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

  6. Cyclopentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopentane

    For example, when passed over a hot platinum surface, 2-methylbutane converts into cyclopentane. This prominent sign on the back of a refrigerator marks it as containing cyclopentane-based insulation Cyclopentane is principally used as a blowing agent in the manufacture of polyurethane insulating foam , replacing ozone-depleting agents such as ...

  7. Prelog strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelog_strain

    Molecular mechanics calculations of strain energy differences ΔSI between a sp 2 and sp 3 state in cycloalkanes show linear correlations with rates (as ⁡) of many reactions involving the transition between sp 2 and sp 3 states, such as ketone reduction, alcohol oxidation or nucleophilic substitution, the contribution of transannular strain ...

  8. Chemical thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_thermodynamics

    (The heat change at constant pressure is called the enthalpy change; in this case the widely tabulated enthalpies of formation are used.) A related term is the heat of combustion, which is the chemical energy released due to a combustion reaction and of interest in the study of fuels.

  9. Kerosene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerosene

    The combustion reaction can be approximated as follows, with the molecular formula C 12 H 26 : 2 C 12 H 26 (l) + 37 O 2 (g) → 24 CO 2 (g) + 26 H 2 O(g); ∆H˚ = -7513 kJ. In the initial phase of liftoff, the Saturn V launch vehicle was powered by the reaction of liquid oxygen with RP-1. [53]
