Experiment No. 3
REACTIONS OF HYDROCARBONS

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM:
(*)Place 5 drops of hexane, Eugenol, unknown hydrocarbon 1, and
unknown hydrocarbon 2 on separate dry test tubes.
Prepare new set of samples

Bayers Test
+ 5 drops
of Bayers
reagent
Shake and observe

Bromination (with light)

+ 5 drops
of
Bromine

Bromination (without light)

Wrap the test tube with
paper
+ 5 drops
of
Bromine

Shake and observe

Tollens Test
+ 5 drops
of Tollens
reagent
Shake and observe

Immediately place the sample in a dark

place for 2 minutes. Then observe

Prepare the set-up for acetylene

generation
+ chemicals as listed (*) to four separate dry
screw-capped test tubes (one for each group)

+ small increments of H20 to calcium carbide at

a time to initiate the formation of acetylene.

Collect acetylene into the test tubes (inserting the end of

the rubber tubing and then opening the pinchcock
When enough acetylene is collected, cap the tubes
immediately and observe any ensuing reaction
From the results of the test, identify whether the
sample is an alkane, alkene, or alkyne

Write the pertinent general equations involved in each reaction
