Ethane is a naturally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon. It is a colourless paraffinic gas which is extracted from natural gas and refinery gas streams.

1873, from ethyl + -ane, the appropriate suffix under Hofmann's system.

A normally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon. It is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of -127.48 degrees Fahrenheit. It is extracted from natural gas and refinery gas streams.

hydrocarbon gas used as fuel.

A colorless and odorless gas that belongs to the alkane series of the hydrocarbons.

A hydrocarbon molecule consisting of two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms, used as petrochemical feedstock in production of chemicals and plastics, and as a solvent in enhanced oil recovery processes.

An organic compound with the formula C2H6 that is an alkane with two carbon atoms that may be produced along with oil or natural gas as a natural gas liquid. Ethane is highly flammable, colorless gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and is often converted to a liquid for use. Ethylene

A paraffin hydrocarbon, c2h6; under atmospheric conditions, a gas. One component of natural gas.

– A component of natural gas. Ethane is fed into a cracker to form ethylene and polyethylene.

A light saturated hydrocarbon containing two carbon molecules, recovered from a vapour stream as a liquid. Ethane is used primarily as ethylene feedstock or fuel.

the saturated hydrocarbon (alkane) with two carbon atoms in its molecule (C2H6); the second member of the paraffin series -a gas under normal conditions.

It is a chemical compound with chemical formula C2H6. It is the only two-carbon alkane, that is, an aliphatic hydrocarbon. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odorless gas.

A normally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon. It is a colorless paraffinic gas extracted from natural gas and refinery gas streams.

A hydrocarbon gas that is one of the ingredients in natural gas. Ethane molecules each contain two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms.

Two-carbon alkane, hydrocarbon that is the second principal component of natural gas, chemical formula C2+H6

A gaseous hydrocarbon, the second most important constituent of natural gas, it also occurs dissolved in petroleum oils and as a by-product of oil refinery operations and of the carbonisation of coal.
