4.WM Haloalkanes Flashcards
1
Q
Why does the boiling point of any alkane and alkene increase with chain length?
A
longer alkanes have more molecular SA available to bond with ∴ can interact with more electrons, increasing chain length makes electron cloud bigger - so more intermolecular bonds can be made on the whole.
2
Q
How do you make an Alkene?
A
At high temperature and pressures with a phosphoric catalyst, alkene + water -> alcohol
3
Q
How would you make an alcohol from a haloalkane?
A
By adding warm NaOH or KOH
