Reactions
A homologous series is a family of organic molecule with a general formula and similar properties.
All alkanes end with ane. Examples: methane meth - 1 C ethane eth - 2 C propane prop - 3 C

What do you notice about the boiling points as you go down the column in Table 2? Can you predict the states of matter of all the six alkanes at room condition given that the room temperature is 250C?
The boiling points of the alkane the number of carbon atoms increase. methane to butane gases (b.p. < 25 0C) pentane to hexane liquids (b.p. > 25 0C)
as
Density is equivalent to the mass per unit volume. As the molecular size of the alkanes increases, the density of the alkanes increases.

Viscosity refers to the ability to flow. The more viscous the substance is, the more difficult for it to flow. As the molecular size increases, the intermolecular force increases, hence increases the viscosity of alkanes.

Flammability refers to the ability to burn. As the molecular size increases, the less flammable the molecule. Molecules which are less flammable would produce a smokier flame due to incomplete combustion of alkanes.

C3H8 + O2 CO2 + H2O What is wrong with this equation? Can somebody correct it and write the word equation as well?
propane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water
C3H8 + 5O2
Pg 420 of TB & pg 166 of notes
3CO2 + 4H2O
CH4 + Cl2 CH3Cl + HCl This reaction is called substitution reaction. Presence of light necessary. The product is called organic halogen compound. CH3Cl chloromethane
Pg 420 of TB & pg 167 of notes
1) Alkanes are hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2. 2) The boiling points of alkanes increases as the number of carbon atom increases. 3) Alkanes burn in air to give CO2 and H2O 4) Alkanes undergo substitution reaction with Cl.
