Long-chain alkanes such as $\text{C}_{17}\text{H}_{36}$ may be cracked to produce propene, $\text{C}_3\text{H}_6$. Construct an equation to show the cracking of $\text{C}_{17}\text{H}_{36}$ to make propene.
The equation shows how propenenitrile is made. $2\text{C}_3\text{H}_6(g) + 2\text{NH}_3(g) + 3\text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{C}_3\text{H}_3\text{N}(g) + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}(g)$. Describe and explain what happens to the rate of this reaction when the temperature is increased.
The structure of propenenitrile is shown. Explain why propenenitrile is unsaturated.
Describe a chemical test that shows propenenitrile is unsaturated.
Draw a section of poly(propenenitrile).
A factory uses 1750 tonnes of propenenitrile to make poly(propenenitrile). The percentage yield is 95%. Calculate the mass of poly(propenenitrile) produced.
