Chemical property of alkane conditons––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
I. Pyrolysis a. HCl/anhydrous AlCl3
II. Isomerisation b. (CH3COO)2 Mn
III. Aromatisation c. Pt / 973 K
IV. C2H6→CH3COOH d. Cr2O5/500∘C,10−20 atm
I c II a III d IV b
For isomerisation HCl/ anhyd AlCl3 is used & (CH3COO)2Mn is mild oxidising agent
