Alkanes and chlorine react to produce
Chloroalkanes. In these reactions one hydrogen is replaced by a chlorine
Alkenes and bromine react to make
Dibromoalkanes. Two bromine atoms are added

What is a fuel
A substance that when combusted completely in oxygen it releases heat energy and forms waste products in the form of oxides.
Alkanes react with what
Oxygen
Chlorine
What is produced when incomplete combustion occurs
Carbon Monoxide
Substitution reaction
A chemical reaction when an atom on a molecule is replaced by another. This happens when alkanes react with chlorine.
Properties of alkanes
Bonds are always single covalent bonds, so alkanes are saturated. This means they are not reactive since all electrons are occupied.
When alkanes react with chlorine what is produced
Chlorialkanes and hydrogen chloride.
Incomplete combustion
When combustion of a substance occurs with insufficient oxygen.
When alkanes burn what process happens
Combustion
The combustion of ethanol reacting with oxygen produces what
Carbon dioxide and water
Petroleum
The mixture of hydrocarbons found naturally formed by the decay of marine organisms. Also known as crude oil.
Petroleum and fractional distillation
Petroleum, also known as crude oil, consists of organic compounds (hydrocarbons), as they only contain hydrogen and carbon atoms. Scientists have discovered that crude oil only contains 30% alkanes, with the remainder made up of other compounds. In its original form crude oil has limited uses, but through a process called fractional distillation, it can be separated out into useful fractions. Distillation can be used because the different hydrocarbons in crude oil have slightly different boiling points depending on the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon molecules.
