#1
Front (Question)

Alkene added with steam forms… What is the catalyst required?

Back (Answer)

Alcohols are organic compounds with a hydroxyl functional group. Alkenes undergo addition reactions with steam to form alcohols. This reaction requires an acid catalyst, such as phosphoric acid. Example: CH2CH2 + H2O → CH3CH2OH

#2
Front (Question)

Alkenes being oxidised with KMnO4 forms..

Back (Answer)

Diols, alcohols with two hydroxyl functional groups, can also be formed from alkenes through an oxidation reaction. The double bond is oxidised by acidified potassium manganate(VII) (KMnO4 ). The manganate ions must be cold, dilute and acidified. Example: CH2CH2 + H2O + [O] → CH2 (OH)CH2 (OH)

#3
Front (Question)

What are the conditions of the manganate ions when alcohols are oxidised by KMnO4 to produce diols

Back (Answer)

Cold,dilute and acidified
