Cracking a hydrocarbon
You can find instructions for this experiment at www.rsc.org/learn-chemistry/re...
Liquid paraffin (a mixture of alkanes of chain length C20 and greater) is vaporised and passed over a hot pumice stone catalyst. A gaseous product is obtained which is flammable and which will decolorise bromine water and acidified permanganate ions. The same apparatus and method can be used to dehydrate ethanol.

thanks mr hoyland. totally needed this today.
They allow for seperate pathways through which you go from the same reactants to products with less activation energy. Solid catalysts like platinum and palladium hold the molecules of the reactants down so they can react more easily, and they then push off the products, something very important for good catalysts. Cataysts need not be solid as long as they make for a mechanism in which they're not used up. Fast colliding particles in the appropriate spatial orientation lead to reactions.

Why is porous pot catalyst used normally in this reaction? How exactly does it reduce the activation energy?
Why is the catalyst heated strongly before the oil is warmed ? would evaporate too quickly ?
I loved it, your science is very amazing!
Extremely useful! Thank you
love the video.What a watch!!!Extremely exciting.thanks kiddos

Agree strongly with Stephen - a Bunsen valve is easy to make and adds safety. About 3cm of rubber tubing that fits over the end of the delivery tube. Make a longitudinal slit in the tubing with a scalpel, about 1cm long and then plug the end of the rubber tubing with a short length of glass rod. NB if using bits of broken stirring rods, be very careful as they will have sharp edges that are best removed by polishing the broken surfaces in a hot Bunsen flame.

Thats very interesting. Mam can you kindly give us the procedure of isolating N decane from paraffin
Awesome video. A very important petrochemical refinery cracking reaction in a test tube. Can anybody tell me what is difference between cracking and reforming? , as i often see the same type of catalyst and temp. are used in both cases and also product is sometimes similar.
Hi, I intend to use ZSM-5 as catalyst for cracking Straight-run heavy naphtha (80-180 deg-C) to improve RONC. Please advice me this idea is good or not? What reactions will happen? What products will we receive? Best regards, Thanks!

For this experiment my chem class used Aluminium Oxide as a catalyst. I do understand that the catalyst decreases the amount of energy required to break the Carbon-Carbon bonds. however, how does it do so? Thanks
@josh2232

pranavguitarist the catalyst lowers the activation energy, requiring a low amount of energy (heat) to break bonds between the carbons then break into smaller chains/ lengths of carbon thus producing derivatives of larger hydrocarbons

I'm confused about the last conclusion made about the last tube: Is it alkane or alkene you meant? ALKANE with a carbon-carbon double bond is contradictory...
@vmelkon

@gabriellaashong

Ian Yang An alkane has only one carbon to carbon covalent bond where as an alkene will have 2 carbon to carbon covalent bond and therefore it is unsaturated as the carbon atoms aren't bonded to the maximum amount of atoms. this make it reactive and so able to decolourise bromine water.

That's because alkanes are single bonds and therefore are formed easier and come out first. Hopefully you see this even if I'm 4 years late
I understand how catalysts of this sort act, but I don't understand how this works as the catalysts sits to the bottom so the parafin doesn't necesarily goes through the stones
thanks for sharing, good video, I have a couple of doubts, how hot should it be...? Why can't the catalyst and the paraffin be put together...? What happens if I put them together...? using alumina as a catalyst has the same effect...? Thank you for your help...

The catalyst provides a large surface area for the cracking reaction to occur. Saturating the catalyst (wetting it with the feed stock) lowers the temperature due to the (endothermic action of evaporation) and stops the reaction. The surface area of the catalyst has to remain at a high enough temperature and this can only occur when the feed stock in contact with the catalyst is a vapour. @@leifercontreras4949

Both the bromine and the permanganate can oxidize the hydrocarbons if they have double bonds. Since these oxidated compounds are colourless and their formation depletes the colourful reactant, you can witness the colour change. Eg: CH2=CH2 (colorless) + Br2 (orange) --> BrCH2-CH2Br (colorless) [ethylene + bromine --> 1,2-dibromoethane]

Oxidated? I think you mean oxidized. I'm going to assume this was a brainfart, since you used the present temse, oxidize, properly. Either that, or perhaps English isn't your first language. But the chemistry checks out. No pseudoscience here.

Now that I think about it, I recall this was one of the first reactions I learned about. Reacting a halogen with an alkene to replace the double bond with a single bond and a halogen. It was so long ago, I can't recall the name of it. Maybe SN1. Or halogenation. I learned this before this video was even made, so the information has gotten a bit dusty on the shelves in my brain.
