What are the Potential Results of Mixing Different Alkanes?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the classification and mixing of alkanes, specifically whether the list can be extended beyond decane and the implications of mixing different alkanes. It is confirmed that alkanes can be named using Greek numerals, allowing for further classification. Mixing alkanes is common, as they do not chemically react with one another, making it safe to combine them without safety concerns. The conversation also touches on the stability of alkane mixtures and the challenges in separating them. There is a query about the permutations and combinations of alkanes, but the consensus is that they exist primarily as stable mixtures rather than reactive combinations.

Alkanes list

Can the Alkanes list be further compiled after decane with formulas ?

Is it advisable to mix Alkanes ?

Examples :

Propane + Nonane = ?
Butane + Pentane = ?
Decane + Methane = ?
Propane + Hexane + Decane = ?

Names are based on Greek numerals so yes, not a problem.

What do you mean by "advisable"? It is actually quite difficult to separate them, they are almost always used as mixtures.

Alkanes don't react with each other to form products. Mixing them wouldn't cause any safety problems.

Thanks.

I.e. Permutations and Combinations for Alkanes reactions with each other.
 
Thank you.

Permutations and Combinations for Alkanes (Hydrocarbons) reactions with each other till C10000 can be traced?

Solid + Solid mixture = ?
Solid + Liquid mixture = ?
Solid + Gas mixture = ?
Liquid + Gas mixture = ?
Liquid + Liquid mixture = ?
Gas + Gas mixture = ?
 
No idea what you are asking. We told you: they don't react and they almost always are present as stable mixtures.
