a variety of methods to examine the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons. The first experiment we tested a variety of solvents to see if they dissolved our alkane (Decalin). One would expect that non-polar solvents will dissolve alkanes because they are non polar as well 1. If the solvent did not dissolve in the alkane we heated the solution with a heat gun‚ because higher temperature increases solubility because energy in the form of heat can break bonds and allow for the molecules to

of a group of straight chained alkanes to 2 branched alkanes‚ a ketone‚ an alcohol and an alkene. I plotted a graph of boiling points of straight chain alkanes against its molar mass. Here‚ it was noticed that as the molar mass increased‚ the boiling point increased as well. However‚ when I plotted the graph of the 2 branched alkanes‚ the ketone‚ alcohol and alkene‚ I noticed that they didn’t follow the same trend as the straight chain alkanes. The branched alkanes had a lower boiling point compare

Developing Fuels * All gases take up the same volume under the same conditions. AT room temperature and room pressure this volume is 24 dm3. * Number of moles= volume in dm3 24 * Balanced equations can also be used to work out gas volumes. In the equations: 2Na + 2H2O 2NaOH + H2‚ where 15g of sodium is reacted‚ you can work out the volume of gas from working out the number of moles in 15g Na = 0.65 mol. Then you see that 2 mol of Na 1mol of H2‚ Thus 0.65 mol Na 0.325 mol H2. 0.325
