This is usually called cracking; It produces unsaturated hydrocarbons as well as smaller alkanes.

How can bromine water test the difference between alkanes and alkenes?
Bromine water can test the difference between alkanes and alkenes because the bromine water turns colourless for the alkenes but doesnt change for the alkanes.
Do Alkenes have carbon-carbon double bonds?
Alkanes have a single bond, and Alkenes have a double bond. The general form for Alkenes is CnH(2n)
Is Hydrogenation is used to convert alkenes and alkynes to alkanes?
True
Oxidation of alkanes?
Simple oxidation of alkenes yield carbon dioxide and water.
What happens when 1 drop of bromine is added to vegetable oil?
they separate as they are alkenes and alkanes
What is the process that converts large alkanes to small alkanes and alkenes is called?
Long-chain alkanes can be broken into smaller hydrocarbons in a process called cracking, which may be thermal or catalytic.
What come from crude oil alkanes or alkenes?
alkanes
How can bromine water test the difference between alkanes and alkenes?
Bromine water can test the difference between alkanes and alkenes because the bromine water turns colourless for the alkenes but doesnt change for the alkanes.
What is the difference of alkanes and alkenes?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.
What are some examples of alkanes and alkenes?
Saturated oils and waxes are all types of alkanes and alkenes The Ice man ;) Call me ladies... ;')
What differentiates alkenes from alkanes?
alkanes have single covalent bons, alkenes have double :) lol did this while doing chem homework myself
How are alkenes made from alkanes?
cracking maybe?
Is the conversion of an alkene to an alkane a reduction or an oxidation?
The addition of hydrogen on alkenes produces the alkanes so it is a reduction process.
What is the difference between the carbon groups called alkanes and alkenes?
Alkenes have at least one double bond between two carbon atoms; alkanes don't.
Which two chemicals contains hydrogen?
alkenes and alkanes
Another word for aliphatic?
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes...
Is 2-methylpentane an alkanes alkenes or alcohol?
It is an alkane.
