Analysis of Hydrocarbons Myra Gurango‚ Geneva Guy‚ Micah Hernandez* and Joyce Lagarde Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract The organic compounds hexane‚ toluene‚ cyclohexene and naphthalene in hexene were subjected to parallel chemical testing to differentiate their intrinsic physical properties in terms of structure and behavior. The physical state and color were noted by simple physical observation. Nitration Testing was conducted for preliminary

simpler mixtures or pure substances by fractional distillation. During the refining of petroleum‚ one kind of hydrocarbon is often converted to another‚ more useful kind by cracking. Useful hydrocarbon mixtures include cooking gas‚ gasoline‚ naphtha‚ benzene‚ kerosene‚ paraffin‚ and lubricating oils. Many hydrocarbons are useful as fuels; they burn in air to form carbon dioxide and water. The hydrocarbons differ in chemical activity. The alkanes are unaffected by many common reagents‚ while the alkenes

BIOREMEDIATION INTRODUCTION:- The process of bioremediation was reportedly devised by George M Robinson in the 1960 during experimentation with dirty jars and the introduction of microbes this was however not applied until the 1972 clean out of the fuel holding tanks on the RMS queen mary. Science 1972 bioremediation has become greater developed as a means of cleaning up spills of gasoline diesel ‚ heavy metals and other easily degraded petroleum products (National Research Council 1993).

COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Abstract Organic compunds were examined to a comparative investigation to differentiate the properties of each sample. The physical state at room temperature‚ odor and color of the sample were noted by simple observation. In terms of solubility in H2O‚ 5% NaOH solution and 5% HCl solution‚ the samples were classified as to miscible‚ slightly immiscible or immiscible for liquid; and very soluble‚ soluble‚ partially soluble or insolubse for solid.

aromaticty. There are three possible positions on a benzene ring that a nucleophile could add to‚ referred to as the ortho‚ para‚ or meta positions. In this experiment‚ the nucleophile will primarily add into the meta position. This is because the starting material is methyl benzoate‚ as opposed to just benzene. The ester group of methyl benzoate is capable of participating in the resonance of the ring. This withdraws electron density from the benzene ring‚ and is said to be deactivating. Deactivating

a method used when a functional group is needed to be substituted on to an aromatic compound. In the nitration‚ nitronium ion acts as the electrophile that involves the attack of the electron-rich benzene ring. Aromatic substitution is electrophilic‚ due to the high density in benzene ring. Benzene ring is one of the components in most important natural products and other useful products. The species reacting with the aromatic ring is usually a positive ion or the end of a dipole. Nitration is

This is because Br2 is electrophilic enough to attack double and triple bonds‚ but not electrophilic enough to attack the pi bond system of the benzene ring of toluene.For the reaction of between toluene and aqueous potassium manganate the reaction will change the toluene to benzanoic acid and the color of potassium manganate change from purple to slight purple Objective To compare the reaction
