Question

Give two uses of alkenes. Explain ozonolysis of ethane​

Answer 1

Ozonolysis of ethylene or ethane involves the cleavage of the double bonds in the alkenes using ozone molecules (O3). Ozone is very reactive. Ozone acts as an oxidizing agent. When ozone, in any of the solvents, is reacted with ethane, it forms an intermediate called ozonide molecule.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Manufacturing of plastics like polythene for making baskets, ball ect
• Manufacturing of polystyrene used in car battery cases and parts of the refrigerator

Explanation:

Ozonolysis of ethane: ozonolysis is the method of oxidatively cleaning the alkenes or alkynes using ozone(O3), a reactivity allotrope of oxygen. The process allows for carbon-carbon double or triple bonds to be replaced by double bounds with oxygen.
