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 compound may be formed when alkanes are cracked?
When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.
What is the classification test of hydrocarbons?
1)Bromine solution in carbontetrachloride is used to identify alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. alkanes don't react therefore the color remains as it is ie, brown while alkenes and alkynes react and therfore brown color disappears. 2)Ammoniacal cuprous chloride when reacted with alkanes alkenes give no precipitate while with alkynes give red precipitate. Thus, alkanes with no reaction and unsaturation can be identified from the first test while alkynes from second test. combustion test solubility test kmno4 test sulfuric acid test
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 are the main two types of products of cracking and what are they used for?
Smaller alkanes and alkenes
Why alkanes do not react with bromine water?
No, bromine will only add to alkenes, so NO addition reaction to alkanes. Subtitution on alkanes is not possible at standard conditions
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 differentiates alkenes from alkanes?
alkanes have single covalent bons, alkenes have double :) lol did this while doing chem homework myself
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... ;')
How are alkenes made from alkanes?
cracking maybe?
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.
Another word for aliphatic?
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes...
Which two chemicals contains hydrogen?
alkenes and alkanes
Is 2-methylpentane an alkanes alkenes or alcohol?
It is an alkane.
Which compound may be formed when alkanes are cracked?
When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.
