    Alkanes and alkenes undergo different reaction types. Alkanes undergo substitution reactions where hydrogen atoms are replaced, as well as combustion producing carbon dioxide, water, and heat. Alkenes undergo addition reactions and can be identified using bromine water, which turns colorless upon reaction with an alkene double bond. Both undergo additional reactions including hydrogenation, halogenation, hydration, and addition of hydrogen halides.

    Organic Chemistry

    Alkanes and Alkenes


    Combustion of Alkanes
    • Alkanes burn in air or oxygen and produces clean, blue, non-smoky
    flame .
    • Burning/combustion of alkane produces carbon dioxide and water
    and heat.
    Alkanes- Substitution RXN
    • In this rxn H atoms in alkane are replaced by other atoms. Eg. Halogen; Cl, Br, Fl, I
    • Eg. Methane and Chlorine
    Addition Rxns
    • Hydrogenation
    • Halogenation
    • Hydration
    • Addition of Hydrogen halides
    • With acidified potassium manganite (IV) solution
    • Polymerization
    Testing for alkenes

    • Bromine water is used to tell the difference


    between an alkane and an alkene.
    • An alkene will turn brown bromine water
    colourless as it reacts with the double bond.
    • Bromine water remains brown in the presence
    of an alkane as there is no double bond.
    • ADDITION OF acidified potassium manganate
    (VII)
