You can use a litmus test it will tell you if it is alkane and will tell you the PH of the alkane metal.

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


Alkanes and Alkenes both contain only what 2 elements?

Carbon and hydrogen.


Are alkenes hydrocarbons?

Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2


What is the symbol equation for alkenes?

* For the alkanes, the general formula is CnH2n+2 EXAMPLE: CH4, C4H10 * For the alkenes, the equation is CnH2n EXAMPLE: C2H4 where n is the number of atoms in one molecule of the hydrocarbon.


What is alkanes and alkenes?

The difference between an alkane and an alkene is that: Alkanes have only single bonds between carbon atoms and are said to be saturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water stays orange - formula: CnH2n+2; Alkenes: have one or more double bond(s) between carbon atoms and are unsaturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water turns clear - formula: CnH2n.

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.

Which precautions should you take when heating solutions in a test tube?

Following points should be kept in mind while working 1-always wear safety glasses and gloves 2-put the test tube away from yourself and any other person 3-donot hold the test tube with finger always use test tube holder 4-donot put test tube direct on the flame use wire guide 5-always keep the test tube at an angle and make sure that mouth of test tube is pointed away from you and other person
