What types of chemical reactions are typical for alkanes.

Alkanes are characterized by substitution, oxidation, combustion, isomerization (starting with butane) and decomposition reactions.

1. Substitution reaction: nitration.

C2H6 + HNO3 (t) = CH3NO2 + H2O.

2. Combustion reaction.

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 (t) = 4 CO2 + 6 H2O.

3. Oxidation reaction.

CH4 + O2 (t, cat) = HCOH + H2O.

4. Decomposition reaction.

2 CH4 (550-650 ° C, cat) = C2H4 + 2 H2.

5. Isomerization reaction.

C5H12 (AlCl3, t) = CH3CH (CH3) CH2CH3.
