Topics Tested
14. Hydrocarbons
14.1. Alkanes

suggest how cracking can be used to obtain more useful alkanes and alkenes of lower \( M_f \) from heavier crude oil fractions

14. Hydrocarbons
14.2. Alkenes

recall the reactions (including reagents and conditions) by which alkenes can be produced: (a) elimination of HX from a halogenoalkane by ethanolic NaOH and heat (b) dehydration of an alcohol, by using a heated catalyst (e.g. \( Al_2O_3 \)) or a concentrated acid (e.g. concentrated \( H_2SO_4 \)) (c) cracking of a longer chain alkane
