    Liquid paraffin (a mixture of alkanes of chain length C20 and greater) is vaporised and passed over a hot pumice stone catalyst. A gaseous product is obtained which is flammable and which will decolorise bromine water and acidified permanganate ions. The same apparatus and method can be used to dehydrate ethanol.

    They allow for seperate pathways through which you go from the same reactants to products with less activation energy. Solid catalysts like platinum and palladium hold the molecules of the reactants down so they can react more easily, and they then push off the products, something very important for good catalysts. Cataysts need not be solid as long as they make for a mechanism in which they're not used up. Fast colliding particles in the appropriate spatial orientation lead to reactions.

    • @vmelkon
      @vmelkon 7 лет назад +1

      The text at 6:26 says alkene.

    • @gabriellaashong
      @gabriellaashong 7 лет назад +3

      Ian Yang An alkane has only one carbon to carbon covalent bond where as an alkene will have 2 carbon to carbon covalent bond and therefore it is unsaturated as the carbon atoms aren't bonded to the maximum amount of atoms. this make it reactive and so able to decolourise bromine water.

    Agree strongly with Stephen - a Bunsen valve is easy to make and adds safety. About 3cm of rubber tubing that fits over the end of the delivery tube. Make a longitudinal slit in the tubing with a scalpel, about 1cm long and then plug the end of the rubber tubing with a short length of glass rod. NB if using bits of broken stirring rods, be very careful as they will have sharp edges that are best removed by polishing the broken surfaces in a hot Bunsen flame.

    • @josh2232

      pranavguitarist the catalyst lowers the activation energy, requiring a low amount of energy (heat) to break bonds between the carbons then break into smaller chains/ lengths of carbon thus producing derivatives of larger hydrocarbons

    • @Mass-jab-death-2025
      @Mass-jab-death-2025 8 месяцев назад

      The catalyst provides a large surface area for the cracking reaction to occur. Saturating the catalyst (wetting it with the feed stock) lowers the temperature due to the (endothermic action of evaporation) and stops the reaction. The surface area of the catalyst has to remain at a high enough temperature and this can only occur when the feed stock in contact with the catalyst is a vapour. @@leifercontreras4949

    Both the bromine and the permanganate can oxidize the hydrocarbons if they have double bonds. Since these oxidated compounds are colourless and their formation depletes the colourful reactant, you can witness the colour change.
    Eg: CH2=CH2 (colorless) + Br2 (orange) --> BrCH2-CH2Br (colorless)
    [ethylene + bromine --> 1,2-dibromoethane]

    • @ep5659
      @ep5659 8 месяцев назад

      Oxidated? I think you mean oxidized. I'm going to assume this was a brainfart, since you used the present temse, oxidize, properly. Either that, or perhaps English isn't your first language. But the chemistry checks out. No pseudoscience here.

    • @ep5659
      @ep5659 8 месяцев назад

      Now that I think about it, I recall this was one of the first reactions I learned about. Reacting a halogen with an alkene to replace the double bond with a single bond and a halogen. It was so long ago, I can't recall the name of it. Maybe SN1. Or halogenation. I learned this before this video was even made, so the information has gotten a bit dusty on the shelves in my brain.
