Cov khoom siv tshuaj lom neeg ntawm alkanes feem ntau suav nrog cov tshuaj tiv thaiv oxidation, cov tshuaj tiv thaiv halogenation, cov tshuaj tiv thaiv tawg thiab cov tshuaj tiv thaiv combustion.
Cov tshuaj tiv thaiv oxidation: Alkanes tsis hnov mob nrog cov oxidants muaj zog nyob rau hauv ib txwm muaj mob thiab qhia qee yam kev ruaj ntseg.
Halogenation: Alkanes tuaj yeem hloov nrog halogens (xws li chlorine) los tsim cov halogenated hydrocarbons. Piv txwv li, methane (CH₄) thiab chlorine (Cl₂) yog hloov nyob rau hauv lub teeb los tsim methyl chloride (CH₃Cl) thiab hydrogen chloride (HCl).
Cov tshuaj tiv thaiv tawg: Ntawm qhov kub siab dua, alkanes raug cov tshuaj tiv thaiv tawg los tsim cov alkanes me me. Piv txwv li, hexadecane (C₁₆H₃₄) tuaj yeem tawg rau hauv octane (C₈H₁₈) thiab octene (C₈H₁₆) ntawm qhov kub thiab txias.
Cov tshuaj tiv thaiv combustion: Alkanes tuaj yeem raug hlawv los tsim cov pa roj carbon dioxide thiab dej. Piv txwv li, cov qauv dav dav rau saw alkane combustion yog CnH₂n + (3n+1)/2O₂ → nCO₂ + (n+1)H₂O.
Cov chemistry no ua rau alkanes dav siv hauv kev lag luam thiab kev siv hluav taws xob, xws li cov roj thiab cov khoom siv tshuaj lom neeg.
