Manufacture of Alkenes
|
Don't occur naturally - made from cracking
|
|
Boiling Point of Alkenes (3)
|
Lower melting points and boiling points
- Rigidity of double bond doesn't allow them to pack together as easily - Weaker London forces |
|
Describe Alkene → Alkane
(e.g Ethene → Ethane) |
- Addition
- Hydrogen - Nickel catalyst at 180C or platinum |
|
Alkene + Halogen
Describe Ethene + Bromine → 1, 2, dibromoethane |
- Electrophillic Addition
- Halogen (X) - Mix at room temp |
|
Alkene + Hydrogen Halide
Describe Ethene + HBr → Bromoethane |
- Electrophillic addition
- Hydrogen Halide (HX) - Mix at room temp |
|
Test for Alkene
|
Bromine water
Brown → colourless |
|
Markovnikoffs Rule
|
Applies to asymmetrical alkenes
- Hydrogen atom goes to carbon with the most hydrogens already attached |
|
Explanation of M's Rule
|
- Secondary and tertiary carbocations more stable
- Pushing effect explained by difference in electronegativities of C and H - Carbon becomes δ- and pushes electrons to other |
|
Alkene + Potassium Manganate → 1, 2 diol
|
- Oxidation
- Potassium manganate - Shake together at room temp |
|
Define Hazard
|
When something/substance is potentially dangerous/toxic/harmful
|
|
Define Risk
|
The probability of a hazard happening
|
|
Minimizing Risk
|
- Using a fume cupboard
- Using water bath for heating - Using dilute solutions (slower reactions) |
