Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 4.9 Alkanes & cycloalkanes
Practise recognising alkanes and cycloalkanes as saturated hydrocarbons, using formulae, molar mass and bromine water observations.
How this is tested
- state that hydrocarbons contain carbon and hydrogen only, with saturated species having single bonds
- use general formulae and molar mass to deduce alkane or cycloalkane molecular formulae
- link no colour change with bromine water to a saturated hydrocarbon structure
