What is the name of this process c8h18- alkane an alkene?
C8H18 is an alkane because it is a saturated hydrocarbon. You can work it out by using the equation CnH2n+2 and if that works then its an alkane.The name of the reaction is "splitting" the octane, or "catalytic splitting" (bacause a catalyst is usually required to make the reaction happen).e.g. C8H18--> C5H12+ C3H6
Why do many SI units contain prefix?
