Describe two qualitative tests that can be used to distinguish between alkenes and alkanes. (b) Cite some specific examples. (c) What difference in reactivity is the basis for the qualitative distinction between alkanes and alkenes? What is quantitative information? Give two different examples. How...
It is important to note that the waxes of fruit cuticle are complex mixtures of long-chain lipid compounds including fatty acids, alkanes, or alkenes. The cuticle represents a mechanically resistant barrier with a very important structural function in organ integrity and protection against internal ...
