ALKANE ALKENE
REACTION WITH ACIDIFIED
POTASSIUM MANGANATE(VII),
SOLUTION
Pour 2 cm3 of hexane into a
test tube
2 3 drops
of acidified potassium
manganate(VII) solution are
added to the hexane.
The mixture is
shaken
All changes that occur are
recorded.
Steps 1 to 4 are repeated
using
hexene to replace hexane.
WHY?
Hexane does not react to potassium
manganate (VII) solution because it is
saturated hydrocarbon.
Hexene is unsaturated hydrocarbon that
contains double covalent bond between
carbon atoms.
Addition reaction occur when reacted with
potassium manganate (VII) solution to form
hexanediol
