The major sources of ______ are the world’s natural gas and petroleum deposits.
ALKANES
consists chiefly of METHANE but also contains ethane, propane, and butane.
NATURAL GAS
a complex MIXTURE OF HYDROCARBONS that must be separated into fractions and then further refined before it can be used.
PETROLEUM
ALKANES boiling point & melting point
BP & MP increases as MW increases
____ lowers an alkane’s boiling point
BRANCHING
separates crude mixtures of alkanes based on DIFFERENCES IN BOILING POINT
FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION
Alkanes are sometimes referred to as
PARAFFINS
parum affinis means
SLIGHT AFFINITY
reaction of an ALKANE with O2
COMBUSTION
ALKANE + OXYGEN
COMBUSTION
ALKANE + OXYGEN (combustion) products
CARBON DIOXIDE
WATER
HEAT
ALKANE + Cl2
HALOGENATION
ALKENES are also called
OLEFINS
(ripening of fruits)
ETHYLENE
(major component of turpentine)
α-pinene
(orange pigment, source of Vit A)
β-carotene
_____ alkenes are MORE stable than their ____ isomers
TRANS, CIS
ALKENE + HX
HYDROHALOGENATION
ALKENE + HX product
ALKYL HALIDE, RX
the H attaches to the carbon with fewer alkyl substituents, and the X attaches to the carbon with more alkyl substituents (MORE BRANCHED).
MARKOVNIKOV’S RULE
when ONLY ONE of the two possible orientation of addition occurs
REGIOSPECIFIC
ALKENE + WATER (& heat)
HYDRATION
- Mercury (II) acetate in aqueous THF
(tetrahydrofuran) - Sodium borohydride
