17
Q

common reactions in sat. hydrocarbons

A

oxidation with air/oxygen
halogen substitution
pyrolysis - heat breaks hydrocarbons with high mol. weight to smaller molecules
biological oxidation - bacteria oxidizes hc through aerobic conditions

18
Q

common reactions in unsat. hydrocarbons

*alkene and alkyne same reactions

A

oxidation - produce glycol
reduction - produce more saturated hydrocarbons
addition - acids bind with double/triple bonds
polymerization - unsat. molecules combine to form a higher mol. weight polymer
bacterial oxidation - similar w/ sat. hc

19

alkenes vs alkynes

A

these are with double bonds

these are with triple bonds

21
Q

alcohol

hydrocarbons with OH molecule

product of primary oxidation

22
Q

alcohol properties

A

a. as molecular weight increases, the solubility in water decreases
