Chakactkrisation of Unsaturatkd Aliphatic Hydrocarbons Unlike the saturated hydrocarbons, unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are soluble in concentrated sulphuric acid and exhibit characteristic reactions with dUute potassium permanganate solution and with bromine. Nevertheless, no satisfactory derivatives have yet been developed for these hydrocarbons, and their characterisation must therefore be based upon a determination of their physical properties (boiling point, density and refractive index). The physical properties of a number of selected unsaturated hydrocarbons are collected in Table 111,11. 

Most aliphatic nitro compounds are liquids the physical properties (boiling point, density and refractive index) therefore provide valuable information for purposes of identification. 

The physical properties (boiling point solubility m water dipole moment) of alkynes resemble those of alkanes and alkenes... 

Table 22.3 compares two physical properties, boiling point and water solubility, of alcohols, ethers, and alkanes of similar molar masses. Notice that—... 

Because of the chemical inertness of the paraffin hydrocarbons and of the closely related cj/cZoparaffins, no satisfactory crystalline derivatives can be prepared. Reliance is therefore placed upon the physical properties (boiling point, density, and refractive index) of the redistilled samples. These are collected together in Table III,6. 

The low reactivity of aliphatic ethers renders the problem of the preparation of suitable crystalline derivatives a somewhat difficult one. Increased importance is therefore attached to the physical properties (boiling point, density and refractive index) as a means for providing preliminary information. There are, however, two reactions based upon the cleavage of the ethers which are useful for characterisation.

Distillation can also be used to identify compounds because the boiling point of a compound is a well-defined physical property. Boiling points do vary significantly with atmospheric pressure, however, and therefore the pressure must be controlled when identifying compounds using distillation. 

On the basis of its physical properties—boiling point, melting point, density, refractive index, and, most reliable of all, its infrared and mass spectra—it may be identified as a previously studied alkane of known structure. 

It has been our experience that 7s(r) and Vs(r) play different but complementary roles with respect to molecular reactivity [71,83-85], Vs(r) is effective for treating noncova-lent interactions, which are primarily electrostatic in nature [74,86-89], For instance, a variety of condensed-phase physical properties - boiling points, critical constants, heats of phase transitions, solubilities and solvation energies, partition coefficients, surface tensions, viscosities, diffusion constants and densities - can be expressed quantitatively in terms of one or more key features of Vs(r), such as its maximum and minimum, average deviation, positive and negative variances, etc. [80,90-92], Hydrogen bond donating... 

Physical properties (boiling point, flash point, autoignition point, explosive limits, vapor pressure, relative density, conductivity and Ignition energy) are based on hexane. For pure methyl aluminum dichloride see relevant card. 3 For TLV of hexane see relevant card. Reacts violently with extinguishing agents such as water, foam, halons. carbon dk dde and ordinary powder. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and flush with... 

Cis and trans isomers such as these cannot be interconverted without breaking carbon-carbon bonds. They will have different physical properties (boiling points, melting points, and so on). As a result, they can be separated, placed in separate bottles, and kept indefinitely. 

As mentioned earlier, enantiomers have the same physical properties (boiling point, melting point, solubility, etc.). Since traditional separation techniques generally rely on differences in physical properties, they cannot be used to separate enantiomers from each other. The resolution (separation) of enantiomers can be achieved in a variety of other ways.
