Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Combustion:

• Complete combustion produces carbondioxide and water.
• Incomplete combustion produces carbonmonoxide and water.
• Serveral pollutants are removed from the exhaust of the car using a catalytic converter made of palladium-platinum-rhodium.
• Hydrocarbons are converted to carbondioxide and water.
• Carbonmonoxide is converted to carbondioxide.
• Nitrogen oxides are converted to carbondioxde and nitrogen.

Melting poins and boilling points of alkanes:

• Longer the chain of an alkane, the greater the boiling point. This is because, there is a greater surface area therfore there are more Van…
