Alkanes

Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2 where n = 1,2,3,…


• only single covalent bonds
• saturated hydrocarbons because they contain the
maximum number of hydrogen atoms that can bond with the
number of carbon atoms in the molecule

The Grandma Ester Corporation
The goal is to convince an investor to invest in your
company so that you can build a factory to make ester
compounds. For example, you could make hexyl
pentanoate, and sell it for use in perfumes and make
the investor money. You must come up with a
compound that you can make and sell. You can use
your textbooks and the internet as resources. You can
also access the link:
https://jameskennedymonash.wordpress.com/2013/12/

at an infographic of the ester compounds responsible for
the smell of different fruits, perfumes and flowers.
