FINAL 02 - Characteristic Reactions of Hydrocarbons Flashcards
Are organic compounds containing C and H atoms that are covalently bonded to each other
Hydrocarbons
Is a colorless liquid that has a boiling point of approximately 69°C and is a natural constituent in the paraffin fraction of crude oil
Hexane
Is a non polar, volatile solvent that is an undesirable component of gasoline
Heptane
Is an alicyclic hydrocarbon, non-polar solvent, and a volatile organic compound used as an oil extractant
Cyclohexane
Appears as a colorless liquid; it is insoluble in water and is less dense than water
Cyclohexene
Is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor used to make some types of rubber, lubricants, dyes, etc.
Benzene
Is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor
Toluene/methylbenzene
Ranking of hydrocarbons from most to least volatile
Hexane, Heptane, Cyclohexane, Cyclohexene, Benzene, Toluene
Is used to test for an unsaturated C-C bond, such as an alkene or alkyne
Baeyer’s test
In this test, when the bromine solution is added to the unsaturated hydrocarbon, the brown color disappears
Bromine test
