What else can I help you with?
A molecule of ethane and a molecule of ethene both have the same?
Both ethane and ethene have the same number of carbon atoms per molecule, which is two. However, the difference lies in the type of bonds between the carbon atoms - ethane has single bonds, while ethene has a double bond.
How does the structure of ethene compare to the structure of ethane?
Both ethene and ethane contain two carbons. Ethene has a double bond between its two carbons while ethane has a single bond. Because of this, ethane contains six hydrogen atoms, but ethene only contains four.
Ethene differs from ethane in that it has a?
double bond between carbon atoms.
What alkane is formed when ethene reacts with hydrogen?
addition reactions. I was looking up the same question and found it!!!
What is the raw material used to obtain ethane by hydrogenation?
ethene
What organic chemical reaction will make an alkane like ethane to become a double bonded 2 carbon chain?
You are trying to reduce ethane to ethene, I am guessing. That is a very hard reaction to do... probably you will have to do a free radical halogenation on ethane to form 1-chloroethane, followed by an E2 reaction with t-butoxide or some other bulky base to form ethene. Since ethane and ethene are both gases and cheaply available from petroleum cracking, this reaction really isn't worth doing.
How do you distinguish between ethane and ethene?
Ethane has two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms (C2H6). It is a flammable gas and is a saturated molecule, meaning that each carbon atom has four bonds linked to 4 other atoms. Methane (CH4), propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10) are similar molecules and all are flammable gases. Ethene has two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms (C2H4). It is also a gas but it is an unsaturated molecule: the two carbon atoms are linked by a double bond. Ethene molecules can join together into a single, long molecule. The result is a string of carbon atoms that each have two hydrogen atoms attached and are also linked to two other carbon atoms. This is polythene or polyethelene, a simple polymer that is used for plastic bags among other things. The ability to form into long chains is due to the double bond between the carbon atoms in the ethene molecule.
Which of the following is most reactive A. ethane B. ethene C. ethyne D. they are all equally reactive?
Ethyne is most reactive where as ethane is least.
How do you convert Ethan to ethylene?
Pyrolysis to convert the ethane to ethene. The add Alkaline Pottasium permanganate solution.
Ethene dissolves in con H2SO4 ethane does not explain?
Ethene is an unsaturated compound so adds up one molecule of sulphuric acid and addition product becomes dissolved in acid but ethane is a saturated compound so does not react and dissolves in sulphuric acid.
What is the name of a saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon with 2 carbons?
Eth-
Is ethane acidic?
No, ethane is not acidic. It is a nonpolar molecule composed of two carbon atoms bonded to six hydrogen atoms, making it a neutral compound with no acidic properties.
