The distilled liquid from each level contains a mixture of alkanes alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons with similar properties and requires further. CH 3 CH 2 2 NH 2. 1 What Is Organic Chemistry An Organic Compound Is A Compound Made From Carbon Atoms Has One Or More C Atoms Chemistry Biological Chemistry Organic Chemistry Figure 21 shows the boiling points of n-alkanes as a function of carbon number. . Paraffin waxes are hydrocarbons mixtures of alkanes usually in a homologous series of chain lengths. Therefore properties such as melting and boiling point solubility etc. The higher the gas rises in the tower the lower the temperature becomes. In alkanes the only intermolecular forces are van der Waals dispersion forces. The boiling point of pure hydrocarbons depends on carbon number molecular size and the type of hydrocarbons aliphatic naphthenic or aromatic as discussed in Lesson 1. Predictions for a fifteen-component mixt
