Is alkene more water soluble then aldehyde?
Yes
What is the reagent to distinguish alkene and alkyne?
Bromine
Distinguish between an alkene and any alcohol?
Alcohol has greater polarity and a higher boiling point, to start.
What does the positive KMnO4 test indicate?
It means that it tests positive for either aldehyde, alkene, or phenol functional groups.
How do you transform a Carbon double bond into a carbon oxygen double bond?
When an alkene is oxidized with ozone O3 or with strong oxidizing agent C=C bond is converted to two C=O bonds . that means an alkene is converted to aldehyde or ketone.
What happens when a reaction take place between an alkene and alkane?
If alkene is straight chain and alkane has one tertiary carbon atom then alkylation of alkene takes place and a substituted alkane is produced.
Is turpentine an alkane or alkene?
It is an alkene
Is CH2O a alkane?
No. CH2O is an aldehyde. Alkanes contain only carbon and hydrogen.
When preforming the bromine test to distinguish between aromatic and alkene compound?
An alkane will react with the bromine test and become a clear/colourless liquid, while an aromatic hydrocarbon will not react with the bromine and remain a redish-orange tinged liquid.
How do you distinguish 1 octanol from 1 octene?
1-octanol is an alcohol, so it has an OH group attached to the first C atom. (C8H17OH) 1-octene is an alkene, which has a double bond between the first and second C atoms. (C8H16)
How would you distinguish between pent-1-ene and pent-2-yne?
1-pentene is an alkene with a carbon chain of length five. It has a double bond between carbons 1 and 2. 2-pentyne is an alkyne with a carbon chain of length five. It has a triple bond between carbons 2 and 3.
How are ketons and aldehydes related to each other?
they have the same functional group
