The easement in gross is the counterpart to the easement appurtenant. An easement in gross is owned by a person in his or her private capacity and not in his or her capacity as owner of any particular parcel of property. Essentially, any easement that is not an easement appurtenant is an easement in gross.
Chemical structure of methane, the simplest alkane. In organic chemistry, an alkane, or paraffin (a historical name that also has other meanings), is an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon. In other words, an alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbon-carbon bonds are single. Alkanes have the general chemical formula CnH2n+2.
Uses [edit]. Alkanes from nonane to hexadecane (an alkane with sixteen carbon atoms) are liquids of higher viscosity, less and less suitable for use in gasoline.They form instead the major part of diesel and aviation fuel.lkanes from hexadecane upwards form the most important components of fuel oil and lubricating oil. In latter function they work at the same time as anti-corrosive agents, as their hydrophobic nature means that water cannot reach the metal surface. Many solid alkanes find use as paraffin wax, for example in candles.
