Can pt and pd be used in the hydrogenation of alkenes?
Pt and Pd can be used as catalyst in the hydrogenation of alkenes or (de)hydrogenation of hydrocarbons (cracking in petrol industry)
What is the importance of alkenes?
Alkenes are very important as: 1. They are used in the manufacture of polythene, Mustard gas(beta-beta dichloro ethyl sulphide) 2. Ethene, one of the alkenes, is used as a general anaesthetic and for artificial ripening of fruits. 3. Alkenes are used as a starting material for a large number of chemicals of industrial use such as glycols(antifreeze) , ethyl halide and ethyl alcohol.
What do alkenes contain?
A carbon-carbon double bond.
What are carbons that have carbon-carbon double bonds called?
alkenes
Explain how the molecular structures of alkanes and alkenes differ?
an alkane does not have a double bond.... an alkene does have a double bond between carbons
Are all alkenes gases?
No. The lower alkenes are gases. As the number of carbon atom increases, liquid and solid alkenes are known.
Why alkenes are less reactive than alkenes?
they contain unreactive atoms
Why are alkenes from alcohols not used on an industrial scale?
Since alcohols are obtained by hydration of alkenes, it is meaningless to manufacture alkenes from alkanes. Moreover, cracking hydrocarbons is a more effective and economical to make alkenes. Shawkat
What is the connection between Alkenes and fruit ripening?
alkenes are everywhere and many have biological importance. the simplest alkene , ethene , is a plant hormone that regulates fruit ripeing , flower maturation , and seed germination. many of the pheromones that insects use to communicate alarm or find mates are alkenes, as are some of flavors and fragrances found in plants.
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)
In Chemistry what does Alkenes mean?
Alkenes are hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon double bonds. There are several different names for alkenes. Some examples are butane, pentene and octadiene.
What are unsymmetrical alkenes?
Unsymmetrical alkenes is molecule which is an pair of ligands. The molecule has doubly bonded carbon.
What is the difference between alkenes and olefins?
Alkenes and Olefins are same compounds with general formula CnH2n.
What do you use alkenes for?
alkenes are used to make polycarbonates such as polyethene which is used in making rope, plastics, etc.
What is the formula of alkenes?
Cnh2n
What unsaturated fat do?
alkenes
What is the same for butene and hexene?
Yes, both are alkenes, meaning the both contain a double bond.
