1-Decene is a hydrocarbon with a boiling point of 40°C. It is a colorless liquid that has a phase transition temperature of -78°C. 1-Decene has a chemical composition of C10H20 and contains 10 carbon atoms, 20 hydrogen atoms, and no nitrogen atoms. The sample preparation for 1-decene includes the use of solvents such as hexane, petroleum ether, benzene, or chloroform. The UV absorption spectrum for 1-decene ranges from 190 to 270 nm and the kinetic data for this compound is determined by measuring the reaction rate at different temperatures. FTIR spectroscopy can be used to identify the functional groups on this molecule which are found in fatty acids. The reaction mechanism for 1-decene is through zirconium oxide reacting with hydrochloric acid to produce an alkane and hydrogen chloride gas. The activation energies for reactions involving 1-decene are high because it does not react easily with
