In Lab Today You Will Look at Various Properties of Hydrocarbons:

Addition reactions with bromine

Unsubstituted compound to a substituted compound

Oxidation reactions Hydrocarbon to an

alcohol

In Lab Today: Flammability of

hydrocarbons Burn cleanly

= alkane Burns a little smoky

= alkene Burn very smoky

= aromatic

In Lab Today: Boiling Point

Determination From CHE1200

What determines boiling point?

What kind of compounds have high boiling points?

Low boiling points?
