Write oxidation and addition reaction of hydrocarbon. Write the chemical equations
Answers
Answer:
Hydrocarbon (alcohol) undergo oxidation in presence of Oxidants like alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO4) to form carbolic acids.
Unsaturated organic compounds, like alkenes and alkynes, contain multiple bonds (C=C, C≡C) between their carbon atoms.They undergo addition reactions to become saturated in nature.
The formation of larger molecules by addition of more radicals is known as addition reaction.During an addition reaction of unsaturated organic compounds, a reagent takes place at the double bonded or a triply bonded carbon atoms.
For example; ethene is converted into ethane when heated with the catalyst nickel.
CH2=CH2 + H2 + (Nickel catalyst) ⇨ CH3−CH3
Example: Ethanol undergoes oxidation to produce Acetic acid when heated by an Oxidizing agent like alkaline KMnO4.
