3. What are Alkanes? The simplest of organic molecules, comprising of only carbon and hydrogen and with only single bonds between carbon atoms.

4. More information about Alkanes Also known as a Paraffin, an Alkane does not dissolve in water, but does dissolve in an organic solvent. For example: Oil not dissolving in water

5. Some basic Alkanes include: Ethane Propane Methane Butane

6. Products containing Alkane Plastics: Paints: Drugs: Cosmetics: Detergent: Insecticides:

7. Facts about Methane Odorless Invisible Combustible Methane is the simplest alkane Ranks second as a green house gas next to carbon dioxide (CO 2 )

8. Facts about Propane Exists as a liquid and a gas Used in 48 million households and businesses. 270x more compactable as a liquid than gas Kept at an atmospheric pressure and temperature above -44 ℉ is: 1.Odorless 2.Invisible 3.Non-Toxic 4.Combustible

9. Facts about Ethane Odorless Colorless Can be soluble in polar substances (like water) Highly Combustible Widely used for quickening the process of food ripening Used as a refrigerant in refrigeration systems along with butane

10. Facts about Butane Usually found in a bottled form sold for camping stoves, out-door powered grills and cigarette lighters. Added to gasoline to boost performance When compressed it becomes a liquid; however, when it is released into the air and reacts with an ignition source it becomes an extremely flammable gas. Only releases CO 2 as a waste product as apposed to CO.

11. List of Alkanes

12. Additional Facts Alkanes have the general chemical formula C n H 2n +2. Chemically; alkanes are relatively unreactive. They are obtained by fractional distillation from petroleum and are used extensively as fuels.
