Question
Answer
Tetrahedral Carbon   Carbon bonded to 4 separate atoms, eg Methane  
🗑
Planar Carbon   A carbon with a double or triple bond attached  
🗑
Carbonyl Groups   A molecule with a C=O  
🗑
Comment on the boiling point of Carbonyl Groups   Higher than corresponding alkanes but not as high as corresponding alcohols due to the fact that they cannot create Hydrogen bonds.  
🗑
Primary, Secondary and tertiary alcohol   Primary: Functional group attached to one other carbon Secondary: Functional group attached to 2 other carbons Tertiary: Functional group attached to 3 other carbons  
🗑
Physical Properties of Alcohols   Higher boiling point than expected, pleasant smell, dissolves in both water and organic solvents  
🗑
Uses for alcohols   Fuel, used in paints and polishes as a solvent, present in beers and spirits  
🗑
Compounds used to oxidise Ethanol   Sodium Dichromate and Sulphuric Acid  
🗑
Colour chajnge during the oxidation of ethanol   Orange to green as Cr is reduced from Cr+6 to Cr+3  
🗑
Excess ethanol and limited sodium dichromate crerates:   Ethanal  
🗑
Excess sodium dichromate and limited ethanol creates:   Ethanoic Acid  
🗑
What happens the polarity of alcohols as they get longer?   Their polarity decreases as the long non polar chain cancels out the small polar functional group  
🗑
Physical properties of ethanal   Colourless liquid with a pleasant smell, boiling point of 21 degrees  
🗑
2 precautions when to ensure manufacture of ethanal   Use excess ethanol and limited sodium dichromate, Distill off ethanal as soon as it is formed  
🗑
4 tests for Aldehydes in order of importance   Silver mirror test, Fehlings Solution, Acidified Potassium Permanganatre, Schiffs reagent.  
🗑
Silver Mirror Test: Reagent used, positive colour change   Ammonical Silver Nitrate, heat but do not boil, silver mirror formed.  
🗑
Fehlings Solution, positive colour change?   Fehlings I and II, heat but do not boil, blue to brick red precipitate  
🗑
Acidified Potassium Permanganate, positive colour change   Purple to colourless  
🗑
What is benzaldehyde used for?   Food additive used in almonds, marzipan and cherries  
🗑
Difference between Aldehydes and Ketones?   Aldehydes have their functional group on a terminal Carbon, Ketones have theirs in the middle  
🗑
Simplest Ketone?   Propanone (Acetone)  
🗑
What reagent is used to make Ketones instead of Aldehyes?   Secondary Alcohol instead of primary alcohol (Propan-2-ol instead of ethanol)  
🗑
Carboxylic acids found in ant bites   Methanoic Acid (formic acid)  
🗑
What is unusual about the combustion of Ethanoic Acid?   It only burns in vapor form  
🗑
Physical properties of ethanoic acid   Colourless liquid with a pungent smell, boiling point 118 due to Hydrogen Bonds, mixes with organic liquids and water, used as a food preservative  
🗑
Ethanoic Acid + Metal >   Salt + Hydrogen  
🗑
From what 2 chemicals is benzoic acid made?   Ethanoic Acid and Benzene  
🗑
What is the purpose of reflux apparatus   1: To ensure the complete oxidation of ethanol to ethanoic acid 2: To ensure no loss of vapor  
🗑
Why is the beaker surrounding the reaction flask cold at the start of the reflux?   The reaction is exothermic, the cold water ensures the reaction does not become too vigorous.  
🗑
Ethanoic Acid + Base >   Salt + Water  
🗑
Ethanoic Acid + Carbonate >   Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide  
🗑
