Potassium manganate (VII): hot acidified, cold acidified, alkaline – oxidizing strength GO TO CHEMGUIDE and A-Level Chemistry by Ramsden 4th edition page 515 to 516 38. Reaction between pent-1-ene and COLD acidified potassium manganate(VII) - OXIDATION Write simple equation to show products formed. Use [O] to represent KMnO4. Draw diagram of the dialcohol. If the potassium manganate(VII) solution is acidified with dilute sulphuric acid, the purple solution becomes colourless. The manganate(VII) ions are reduced to manganese(II) ions. 39. Reaction between pent-1-ene and alkaline potassium manganate(VII) – OXIDATION [Or neutral potassium manganate (VII)] Write simple equation to show products formed. Use [O] to represent KMnO4 or put KMnO4 and OH- above the arrow. Potassium manganate (VII) in alkaline solution is a weak oxidizing agent. When a gaseous alkene is bubbled into alkaline potassium manganate(VII) solution, the purple colour fades as the alkene is oxidized to the dialcohol. A brown suspension of manganese (IV) oxide, MnO2, appears. Under alkaline conditions, the manganate(VII) ions are first reduced to green manganate(VI) ions . .. . . . and then further to dark brown solid manganese(IV) oxide (manganese dioxide). The disappearance of the purple colour of ice-cold, dilute alkaline manganate (VII) solution is a test for a carbon-carbon multiple bond as few organic compounds are oxidized by this weak oxidizing agent. 40. Reaction between pent-1-ene and HOT acidified potassium manganate(VII) – OXIDATION Oxidation to dialcohol (1o or 2o or 3o).

Bond cleavage Further oxidation to aldehyde and ketone Further oxidation of aldehyde to carboxylic acid What information does the formation of one ketone and one carboxylic acid provide about the structure of the alkene? 43. Reaction between ethane and concentrated sulphuric acid. Advanced Chemistry by Clugston and Flemming – Read pages 450 to 451 A-Level Chemistry byRamsden – page 515 and 574 to 575 NOTE: The addition of sulphuric acid across a double bond is similar to that of a hydrogen halide. Markovnikov’s rule is followed. When ethene is bubbled into concentrated sulphuric acid at room temperature, ethyl hydrogensulphate is formed: Ethene (g) + cold sulphuric acid (l) ethyl hydrogensulphate Draw ethyl hydrogensulphate The product, ethyl hydrogensulphate, when added to water and warmed, is hydrolysed to ethanol. ethyl hydrogensulphate + warm water ethanol + sulphuric acid Write the overall equation The net result is the addition of H - OH across the double bond. The industrial method of accomplishing this is the catalytic hydration of ethene. Ethene and steam are passed at 300oC and 60 atm over phosphoric acid absorbed on silica pellets. ALSO: (You’ll need this when you do alcohols) A primary alcohol reacts with cold concentrated sulphuric acid to form alkyl hydrogensulphate : Ethanol + conc. sulphuric acid Ethyl hydrogensulphate + Water If the alcohol is in excess and the reaction mixture is warmed to 140oC, an ether is formed ethyl hydrogensulphate + ethanol (excess) Diethyl ether (ethoxyethane) + sulphuric acid If the concentrated sulphuric is in excess and the temperature is raised to 170oC, water is eliminated, with the formation of an alkene: ethyl hydrogensulphate + conc. sulphuric acid (excess) ethene + sulphuric acid 44. Hydrogenation of fats. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/alkenes/hydrogenation.html Saturated fats / lipids from animal source No carbon to carbon double bond – unreactive – easily stored in the body CAMPION J. MARSHALL CAPE CHEM U1 M1 ORGANIC – ALKANES AND ALKENES PAGE 4 OF 5 Saturated fats / lipids from plant source At least one carbon to carbon double bond – more reactive – less likely to be stored in the body Polyunsaturated – more than one carbon to carbon double bond. Hydrogenation of plant oils changes them into soft, low melting point solids which have better spreading propertied than butter. Trans fat Trans fat is the common name for a type of unsaturated fat with trans- isomer fatty acid(s). Trans fats may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. CAMPION J.
