| 1 | The straight-chain alkanes exacerbate the problem of engine " knock ". | |
| 2 | From their findings they predicted that an alkane that was long enough would eventually cross over into hydrophilicity . | |
| 3 | Basically, low concentration of alkane background gas has no effect on the removal efficiency of malodorous gas. ? | |
| 4 | Ethylene can also be turned into alkanes, a class of hydrocarbons that are a component of gasoline. | |
| 5 | Synthesizing very long alkanes is not trivial, especially in the quantities and purities required to put these simulations to the test. |
