An unsolved challenge in catalysis is the efficient and selective functionalization of simple alkanes and plentiful hydrocarbon feedstocks. One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of ...

Lecture slides (30–40 min). Slides are intended to be presented after bond-line drawing conventions and alkanes/hydrocarbon nomenclature have been introduced. The slides connect sustainability and ...

Cracking is used to convert long alkanes into shorter, more useful hydrocarbons. More organic chemistry - AQA Alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and carboxylic acids are different homologous series of ...

Add one or two drops of 1% bromine in dichloromethane to one sample of each hydrocarbon. Compare the rate of the reactions and the conditions. Add one or two drops of 5% KMnO4 to the second sample of ...

The alkanes and alkenes are examples of homologous series. A homologous series is a group of chemicals which have similar chemical properties and can be represented by a general formula.
