A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Water solubility and Henry’s law constant in alkanes found in crude oil have been calculated and set in an easy-to-use table. In addition, we have developed a new correlation for solubility of water ...

The third homologous series is the cycloalkanes. Their names all end in –ane and begin with cyclo-, for example cyclopropane. The cycloalkanes have the general formula \({C_n}{H_{2n}}\). Even though ...
