Question

how does n heptane converts into toluene​

Answer 1

Answer:

Toluene can be made from n-heptane by the process of AROMATIZATION. It is carried out by heating n-heptane at 500 degrees Celsius(673K) in the presence of catalysts (silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide and chromium(III) oxide). in addition, hydrogen gas is also evolved as a by product.

Answer 2

Question :

Convert n-heptane into toluene.

Solution :

The successive dehydration of n-heptane in presence of Pt or $\tt {Al}_{2}{O}_{3}$ gives toluene.

Molecular formula of n-heptane : $\tt {C}_{7}{H}_{16}$

Molecular formula of toluene : $\tt {C}_{7}{H}_{8}$
