I wonder, in both Liquid cycles, there are 10 protons involved, I think?
Oxygen with 8 + 2 Hydrogen with 1 = 10; 18.01528 g/mol
Carbon with 6 + 4 Hydrogen with 1 = 10; 16.04246 g/mol
Is this purely coincidence or something else entirely?
So, note that they have a close molar mass, a difference of only 1.97282.
But I must profess my ignorance here, I don't know if this difference is considered to be miniscule or if it's actually a very big difference, in terms of chemistry and physics!
I'm aware the we know that Methane is an Organic compound, and Oxidane isn't ... but I'm thinking, they don't know that :-)
And so, I ask because I'm not a proper scientist, I am just interested in this sort of thing, and because I noted a correlation and I don't have enough experience to know if it's significant or not ... I hope that someone who *does* Grok this stuff can tell me about it?!
Thank you all and please go easy on me whilst we "Science the s#it" out of this observation!
