IQ3: What are the products of reactions of hydrocarbons and how do they react?
Students:
● investigate, write equations and construct models to represent the reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons when added to a range of chemicals, including but not limited to:
– hydrogen (H2)
– halogens (X2)
– hydrogen halides (HX)
– water (H2O)
This video shows how you can "Crack" long chain hydrocarbons and start to identify the products using a similar test.
