MISCELLANEOUS AND USEFUL CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS (Part-IV)

Carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, as this gas combines with hemoglobin (Hb) present in the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). It is a permanent compound, due to which the transport of oxygen by hemoglobin in the blood is inhibited.

Carbolic acid is the common name for phenol (C₆H₅OH). Plastic materials are produced with the help of carbolic acid. With its help, dyes, disinfectants, and antiseptics are also made.

Butane is one of the saturated hydrocarbons of the alkane series (CₙH₂ₙ₊₂). Its chemical formula is C₄H₁₀. The first member of this category is methane (CH₄).

Ethane is an organic chemical compound. Its chemical formula is C₂H₆. Ethane has a slightly sweet taste. It is also known as a hydrocarbon.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) used for cooking in homes is a mixture of organic gases mainly propane and butane. The full name of LPG is Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). To detect the leakage of LPG, some odorous substance like mercaptan, etc., is added to it.

Methyl propane is an isomer of n-butane. Its general chemical formula is C₄H₁₀, and the structural formula is written as CH(CH₃)₃, or HC(CH₃)₃.

Benzene is insoluble in ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is a polar compound, whereas benzene is a completely non-polar organic compound. Hence it cannot dissolve in ethyl alcohol.

The main component of natural gas is methane (CH₄). It is a flammable organic gas. Due to being flammable, it is used as a fuel.
