Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Hydrocarbons after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂.
  • Wurtz reaction gives higher alkanes with even carbon atoms.
  • Kolbe’s electrolysis produces alkanes with even number of carbons.
  • Alkenes have general formula CₙH₂ₙ and contain a C=C double bond.
  • Dehydrohalogenation and dehydration are common preparation methods.
  • Saytzeff’s rule governs major product formation.
  • Alkynes have general formula CₙH₂ₙ₋₂ and contain a C≡C triple bond.
  • Ethyne is prepared from CaC₂ and water.
  • Terminal alkynes are acidic due to high s-character (50%) in sp carbon.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Alkenes and alkynes are more reactive than alkanes because they have double or triple bonds that are stronger.

Benzene decolorizes bromine water like alkenes, proving it has typical double bonds.

Markovnikov's rule means the hydrogen goes to the carbon with fewer hydrogens.

Memory Tips

General formula of alkanes: CnH2n+2

General formula of alkenes: CnH2n

General formula of alkynes: CnH2n−2

Wurtz Reaction: 2R-X + 2Na → R-R + 2NaX
