Combustion of Hexane Combustion of hexane with limited oxygen and addition of water to burning hexane are demonstrated.
Molecular Modeling of Non-Trivial Cyclohexane Derivatives: A Discovery ApproachGail Horowitz An experiment is described that utilizes molecular modeling to study the effects of sp2 hybridization, bond elongation, and heteroatom substitution upon the stabilities of the axial and equatorial conformers of cyclohexane. Horowitz, Gail. J. Chem. Educ.2004, 81, 1006.

Using Hydrocarbon Acidities To Demonstrate Principles of Organic Structure and BondingAndrew P. Dicks This article demonstrates the utility of hydrocarbon acidity as a teaching tool within the undergraduate classroom. Acidities of compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon vary by at least 50 orders of magnitude. Differences in acidities are rationalized by invoking principles of hybridization, resonance, induction, and aromaticity. Dicks, Andrew P. J. Chem. Educ.2003, 80, 1322.

Hexane 1 (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Hexane 1: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". Hexane, a liquid hydrocarbon with the formula C6H14, burns when ignited in the presence of oxygen. In this problem we will observe videos of this combustion reaction. General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.
