LESSON PLAN

(RENCANA PELAKSANAAN PEMBELAJARAN/RPP)

High School : SMA Negeri 3 Surakarta

Subject : Chemistry

Grade/Semester : X / II

Standard of competence : to understand the macromolecules and organic

compounds, determining reaction result, synthesis of
macromolecules and its uses.

Base competence : to classified the hydrocarbon compounds based on its

structure and properties.

Indicator : to mention the nomenclature system of alkane

Duration : 1 X 15 minutes (1 X meeting)

A. Aims of learning

a. Write the general formula of alkane and its structure

b. Give a name to alkane based on structural formula

B. Subject Content

Alkanes is a group of hydrocarbon compounds wich all of the carbon interatomic

bonds are single bond and form the opened carbon chains. Therefore, alkanes can be
classified into the saturated-aliphatic hydrocarbons.

The ratio of C atoms and H atoms in an alkane is represented by the general formula,
CnH2n+2 , where n represent the number of C atoms and 2n+2 represent the number of
H atoms.

Examples:
n = 2 → C2H6

n = 6 → C6H14

Because alkanes are the group of compound that have the similar properties and also
have the same general formula, then alkanes are classified into homologous series, so
that the naming of alkanes is n-ane.

Homologous series of alkane

Number of C Molecular formula Name

atoms

1 CH4 Methane

2 C2H6 Ethane

3 C3H8 Propane

4 C4H10 Butane

5 C5H12 Pentane

6 C6H14 Hexane

7 C7H16 Heptane

8 C8H18 Oktane

9 C9H20 Nonane

10 C10H22 Dekane

Nomenclature system of alkane:

1. Determining the main chain, that is the longest carbon chain.

2. C atoms on the main chain are given by the ordering number started from
C atom which nearest to the branch.

3. The name of alkane compound is the number of branch C atom + the name
of alkyl group (branch) + the name of alkane.
 Example:

CH3

CH3─ C ─ CH ─ CH2 ─ CH2 ─ CH3

CH3 CH3

2,2,3-trimethylhexane

The uses of alkanes compounds in everyday life, among other are as fuel, lubricating
oil, the major material for petrochemical industries, organic solvent, the major
material for alcohol and vinegar and other. Alkanes compounds generally are obtained
from the petroleum and natural gas manufactures.

Learning Method

Cooperative learning with example and non example method.
