Lab Report Experiment 2 - CHE145

1. The document is a technical report on reactions of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons in an organic and analytical chemistry lab. 2. The lab compares the reactivity of alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons when reacted with bromine water, potassium permanganate, and sulfuric acid. 3. Key findings are that alkenes are more reactive than alkanes due to carbon-carbon double bonds, undergoing addition reactions. Alkanes only undergo substitution reactions like halogenation. Aromatic hydrocarbons do not react with sulfuric acid.

Analysis of Result: 1. Why the remaining mixture of alkanes and alkenes must discard into water for
reaction with sulphuric acid?
The remaining mixture of alkanes and alkenes must discard into water for reaction
with sulphuric acid because sulphuric acid is a strong acid which can harm our
body such as burn skin and damage eyes. Other than that, alkenes also contain
unpleasant smell and highly flammable.
2. Why for aromatic hydrocarbon not tested with sulphuric acid?
Aromatic hydrocarbon cannot be tested with sulphuric acid because there is no
change that can be observe physically, that is because alkanes do not react with
concentrated sulphuric acid.

Conclusion:

In this experiment, the properties and the difference between an alkane and alkene is
identified. Hence, this experiment is a success. Alkane is identified from alkene by its
properties. It can be seen from the tests conducted in the experiment that alkene is much
more reactive than alkane. This is due to its carbon-carbon double bond since it is an
unsaturated hydrocarbon. Alkenes undergo a lot of addition reaction while alkane does not
undergo any addition reaction in the experiment conducted. Instead alkane only undergo
halogenations which is substitutions reaction when react with bromine water. Thus, alkene
is more reactive than alkane.
