Question
Explain why, alkanes are excellent fuel.
Solution
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, and they burn readily in the air with a blue non-sooty flame to release a lot of heat and light energy. This heat energy can be used for heating water, cooking food and operating machines in factories and generators in thermal power stations. That is why they are excellent fuels.
