Sorry, I tried asking the same question but got no replies, do you mean alkane or alkene???
------
Alkene: hydrocarbons with the general chemical formula CnH2n; the old synonym is olefins.

What is the chemical equation for the hydration of ethene?
C5H4 + H20 = C5H5OH ethene + water = ethanol
How is ethene converted to ethanol?
C2H4(g) + H2O(g) → CH3CH2OH(l)
Which has higher conductivity ethanol or ethene?
ethanol is more conductive (4000000pS/m while ethene is less than 100) you can say that always alcohols or ketones which are more polar tha hydrocarbons without oxygen will be more conductive.
What is the chemical equation for ethanol?
ethanol dissolves in water because both ethanol and water are polar. there is no other chemical reaction
Is c2h2 an ionic or covalent?
The compound is ethanol and is a covalent compound.
What plant is ethanol made of?
There is no plant that is made of ethanol. Ethanol is a biomass energy source made of grains and corn.
What is the chemical equation for the hydration of ethene?
C5H4 + H20 = C5H5OH ethene + water = ethanol
How do you make ethanol gas?
Ethanol can be produced by:Anaerobic fermentation of natural sugar (beets, cane, starch) done by yeastPetrochemically by acid catalized reaction of ethene with water
How is ethanol manufactured?
Hydration of ethene or fermentation.
Is hydration of ethene preparation of ethanol?
yes, because the hydration of ethene or ethylene (C2H4) is process of reacting ethene with water(H2O) which gives out ethanol. for more information please visit wikipedia regards~anonymous
What is the name of the compound that is added to ethene to produce ethanol?
H2o
How is ethene converted to ethanol?
C2H4(g) + H2O(g) → CH3CH2OH(l)
How many ethene be converted into ethyl alcohol?
One. Ethene [also ethylene] [H2C=CH2] plus H2O yields H3C-CH2OH [ethanol].
Which has higher conductivity ethanol or ethene?
ethanol is more conductive (4000000pS/m while ethene is less than 100) you can say that always alcohols or ketones which are more polar tha hydrocarbons without oxygen will be more conductive.
How is ethane obtained from ethanol?
according to me, ethane can't be prepared from ethanol. but you can prepare ethene from ethanol by treating ethanol with conc. H2SO4 (95%) In 440 K Temperature with release of water molecule.
What are two ways in which ethanol can be made?
Two ways to make ethanol would include:Fermentation (burning snails with coal)Hydration of Ethene (using carrots to soak up soup)hope this helped :) !!
What are the products when ethyl alcohol is heated?
Ethanol when heated with presence of AlCl3 as a catalytic amount undergoes dehydation as result a loss of water giving ethene gas as a major product. This is a simple way of making gaseous alkenes like ethene. If ethanol vapour is passed over heated aluminum oxide powder, the ethanol is essentially cracked to give ethene and water vapour. To make a few test tubes of ethene, you can use this apparatus:
