C8H18 is an alkane because it is a saturated hydrocarbon. You can work it out by using the equation CnH2n+2 and if that works then its an alkane.
The name of the reaction is "splitting" the octane, or "catalytic splitting" (bacause a catalyst is usually required to make the reaction happen).
e.g. C8H18--> C5H12+ C3H6

Why are alkane called olefins?
Alkenes are also called OLEFINS because they form oily liquids on reaction with chlorine gas.
What is the chemical name for ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3?
Its common name is Methyl ethyl ether, and I.U.P.A.C. name is 1-methoxy propane.
Is chloroethene a alkane?
No, chloroethene is not an alkane. It is a type of unsaturated hydrocarbon known as a vinyl chloride, which contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds between carbon atoms.
What Octane common name?
Octane is commonly known as a component of gasoline and is often referred to by its chemical name, "octane." It is a hydrocarbon with the formula C8H18 and is part of the alkane family. In the context of fuels, the "octane rating" measures a fuel's ability to resist knocking during combustion in engines. Higher octane ratings indicate greater resistance to knocking, making it suitable for high-performance engines.
Is 3-heptene an alkane alkene or an alcohol?
The name of 3-heptene gives it away, for alkenes end in -ene. Heptene is a carbon chain of 7 carbons, and alkenes have a double bond between carbons at the noted carbon (3), so this double bond is between C3 and C4, and the chain is otherwise completely hydrogenated. You might write the structure as: CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH2CH3
Why are alkane called olefins?
Alkenes are also called OLEFINS because they form oily liquids on reaction with chlorine gas.
What is the name of the smallest alkene?
The smallest alkyne is ethyne (C2H2). You're welcome!
Is methylcyclopropane an alkane or an alkene or an alcohol?
Propane is an alkane. The last syllable of the name indicates this. An alkyne (which contains a triple bonded carbon to carbon link) would end in "-yne" and an alkene (which contains a double bonded carbon to carbon link) would end in "-ene". The first syllable indicates the length of the carbon chain. So "meth-" is a single carbon, "eth-" two, "prop-" three. Therefore propane is a three carbon singly bonded molecule.
What is the IUPAC name for the alkane given?
The IUPAC name for the alkane given is the systematic name assigned to the specific alkane based on its structure and number of carbon atoms.
What is the chemical name for petrol?
C8h18
Are alkenes named the same way alkanes are named?
They are. The only difference in name is that alkanes ends with -ane, alkenes end with -ene. Also, the alkane with the least carbon is methane (CH4) but the alkene with the least carbon is ethene (C2H4).
What is the chemical name for ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3?
Its common name is Methyl ethyl ether, and I.U.P.A.C. name is 1-methoxy propane.
Is chloroethene a alkane?
No, chloroethene is not an alkane. It is a type of unsaturated hydrocarbon known as a vinyl chloride, which contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds between carbon atoms.
What is the name for ten -carbon continuous chain alkane?
The name for a ten-carbon continuous chain alkane is decane.
How can one determine the systematic name for an alkane?
To determine the systematic name for an alkane, you need to count the number of carbon atoms in the alkane chain and use the appropriate prefix (meth-, eth-, prop-, etc.) to indicate the number of carbons. Then, add the suffix "-ane" to indicate that it is an alkane.
Is ethane an alkane?
Yes, ethane is the only 2-carbon alkane.
Give the formula and name of the alkane which contains four carbon atoms in each molecule?
The formula for an alkane with four carbon atoms is C₄H₁₀. This alkane is named butane.
