alkene Flashcards
organic chem
what are alkene?
Alkenes have a general formula of C2nH2n and has a functional group of c=2 double bonds(1);so it is polyunsaturated
chemical reactions
1)halogenation
2)hydrogenation
3)hydration
4)polymerisation
name the 10 alkene
1)-
2)ethene
3)propene
4)butene
5)pentene
6)hexene
7)heptene
8)octene
9)nonene
10)decene
what is halogenation(bromination)?
It is used as a test for alkene when bromine is added reddish-brown sol turns colourless
ethene +bromine reation————–>dibromoenthane
what is hydrogenation?
It is adding H2 at 150 temp,with finely divded nicle catalyst (converting alkene inot alkane)
ex:decene + h2 —?
what is hydration?
hydration is the addition of steam at 300 temp,60 atm and H3po2 or H2SO4
(alkene into alcohol)
ethene+ steam——>enthanol
manufacture of margrine from vegtable oil?
vegatble oil have is polyunsaturated and it have many C=C double bonds.Excess H2 is added at 150 temp with finely divided catatyst ,so that C=C double bond is lost an dmore c-c single bond,more staurated,so soild margarine
