PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ALKANE, ALKENE, AND AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS

FLAMMABILITY

Two drops of
cyclohexane,
If flammable, observe
cyclohexene, and Ignite with match
color
benzene in evaporating
dish
SOLUBILITY

Two drops of
cyclohexane, Add 1 mL water then Observe if miscible or
cyclohexene, and shake immiscible
benzene in test tubes

REACTIONS OF ALKANE, ALKENE, AND AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS

BROMINATION

Two drops of
Add 1M bromine in CCl4
cyclohexane, Record observation and
dropwise with shaking
cyclohexene, and give reaction equation
until there is change
benzene in test tubes
OXIDATION

KMnO4

Two drops of Observe soln for 2 min,

cyclohexane, Add dropwise 1M soln
record observation, give
cyclohexene, and of potassium
permanganate reaction equation
benzene in test tubes

SULFURIC ACID TEST

0.5 mL
HCl

Two drops of Observe release of

cyclohexane, Add 0.5 mL heat, record
cyclohexene, and concentrated sulfuric observation, give
benzene in test tubes acid reaction equation

ACETYLENE

PREPARATION
