PRAYER BEFORE CLASS Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom! Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance. Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease of learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress and bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God, and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever. Amen. UST General Santos Activity 3: Characteristic Reactions of Hydrocarbons Inorganic and Organic Chemistry Laboratory Unit Intended Learning Outcome: At the end of the unit, the student must be able to differentiate hydrocarbons in terms of: a. intrinsic physical properties; b. chemical properties, structure, and behavior characterize hydrocarbons based on: a. flammability; b. active unsaturation; c. aromaticity Topic Outline ❖ Properties of Hydrocarbons Physical Properties Chemical Properties ❖ Laboratory Procedures Physical Characteristics Solubility in Concentrated H2SO4 Ignition Test Test for Active Unsaturation Test for Aromaticity: Nitration Test Test for Basic Oxidation UST General Santos Properties of Hydrocarbons Characteristic Reactions of Hydrocarbons Physical Properties of Hydrocarbons 1.

Materials needed ❖ Red and blue litmus paper ❖ Beaker ❖ Test tubes ❖ Evaporating dish ❖ Erlenmeyer flask ❖ Pasteur pipettes ❖ Thermometer A. Physical Characteristics 1. Describe the physical appearance of the sample at room temperature. A. Physical Characteristics 2. Place 5 drops of the sample on a 5 drops of the watch glass. Take note of the time it sample takes for the sample to completely evaporate *if sample has not evaporated after 15 minutes, describe the sample as “non-volatile” B. Solubility in Concentrated H2SO4 1. In a test tube, carefully introduce 10-16 drops of conc. H2SO4 10-15 drops 1 drop 2. Add 1 drop of the sample of Conc H2SO4 of the sample into the test tube 3. Note any color or temperature change in the mixture PRECAUTION: Conc. H2SO4 is CORROSIVE. It is dehydrating and may react with water violently. WASTE DISPOSAL: NEUTRALIZE the solution in the test tube with ~2 mL 10% NaOH and place the solution in the waste bottle provided. C. Ignition Test 1. Place 5 drops of the sample in a small evaporating dish 2. Apply a lighted match to the sample 5 drops 3. Note the color of the flame of the sample and the residue D. Tests for Active Unsaturation BAEYER’S TEST 1. Place 5 drops of the sample into a test tube 2. Add 2 drops of 2% KMnO4 into the 5 drops 2 drops of the sample of 2% KMnO4 test tube 3. Shake the mixture vigorously and observe the rate and extent of color change in the reagent D. Tests for Active Unsaturation BAEYER’S TEST 4. Record rate as “immediate color change” if the color change occurred in less than a minute. otherwise, record 5 drops 2 drops of the sample of 2% KMnO4 “slow color change” 5.
