  7. Alkanes Alkanes are a family of hydrocarbons containing only single bonds between the carbon atoms

  8. CH4 Molecular formula Methane Tetrahedral Expanded structural formula: showing each bond line.

  9. C2H6 Molecular formula Condensed structural formula:with each carbon atom and its attached hydrogen atoms. CH3 – CH3 Ethane Expanded structural formula

  10. Alkanes HomologousSeriesgeneral formulaCnH2n+2 n: number of carbonatoms

  11. Naming of Alkanes CnH2n+2 Prefix + ane

  12. Carbon-to-carbon chains can be (A) straight, (B) branched, or (C) in a closed ring. • (Some carbon bonds are drawn longer, but are actually the same length.)

  14. Learning Check Alk1 A. What is the condensed formula for H H H H H C C C C H H H H H B. What is its molecular formula? C. What is its name? Timberlake LecturePLUS

  15. Solution Alk1 A. CH3CH2CH2CH3 B. C4H10 C. butane Timberlake LecturePLUS

  16. Reactions of Alkanes • Alkanes burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water - oxidation or combustion reaction • CH4(g) + O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) • Alkanes react with chlorine or fluorine in a reaction called a substitution reaction (one of the chlorine or fluorine atoms takes the place of one or more of the hydrogen atoms

  17. Reactions of Alkanes Combustion alkane + O2 CO2 + H2O + heat Timberlake LecturePLUS

  18. Combustion In the Cell Metabolic oxidation is combustion C6H12 O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + heat glucose Timberlake LecturePLUS

  19. Learning Check Alk2 Complete the combustion reaction for C3H8 + O2 + Balance your equation Timberlake LecturePLUS

  20. Solution Alk2 Step 1 C3H8 + O2 CO2 + H2O Step 2 C3H8 + O2 3 CO2 + 4 H2O Step 3 C3H8 + 5 O2 3 CO2 + 4 H2O Timberlake LecturePLUS

  21. Learning Check Alk3 Complete and balance the reaction for the complete combustion of C7H16 Timberlake LecturePLUS

  22. Solution Alk3 Step 1 C7H16 + O2 CO2 + H2O Step 2 C7H16 + O2 7 CO2 + 8 H2O Step 3 C7H16 + 11 O2 7 CO2 + 8 H2O Timberlake LecturePLUS

  23. Review • Complete the revision questions page 175 (4 - 6)

  24. Isomers • Straight chain alkanes: An alkane that has all its carbons connected in a row. • Branched chain alkanes: An alkane that has a branching connection of carbons. • Isomers: Compounds with same molecular formula but different structures.

  25. There is only one possible way that the carbons in methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), and propane (C3H8) can be arranged.

  26. However, carbons in butane (C4H10) can be arranged in two ways; four carbons in a row (linear alkane) or a branching (branched alkane). These two structures are two isomers for butane.

  27. Butane

  28. Different isomers are completely different compounds. They have different structures, different physical properties such as melting point and boiling point, and may have different physiological properties.
