Question
Answer
Organic chemistry    
🗑
What is the formula of ethanol?   CH3-CH2-O-H or C2H5OH  
🗑
Describe the conditions for the production of ethanol by fermentation of carbohydrates   warm temperatures (between 35 and 40C), under anaerobic conditions, with yeast to provide an enzyme for this reaction  
🗑
Write the equation for the fermentation of sugar   C6H12O6 (+ yeast)  2 CO2 + 2 C2H5OH  
🗑
Describe disadvantages of production of ethanol by fermentation   The reactant (sugar) requires a lot of land and suitable climate; the product of fermentation is a mixture that needs to be separated by fractional distillation; it is a batch process and takes a long time  
🗑
What is the equation for the production of ethanol by hydration of ethane?   C2H4 + H2O  C2H5OH  
🗑
What is the equation for the DEhydration of ethanOL?   C2H5OH  C2H4 + H2O  
🗑
Describe disadvantages of production of ethanol by hydration of Ethene   The reactant (ethene) is coming from a non-renewable source (crude oil); a lot of energy is required to maintain high temperature  
🗑
Describe advantages of production of ethanol by hydration of Ethene   It is a continuous process  
🗑
Describe advantages of production of ethanol by fermentation   The reactant (sugar) is coming from a renewable source (plants); little energy is required  
🗑
Define a homologous series   a series of compounds which: have the same general formula; differ by a CH2; show a gradual variation in physical properties as exemplified by their boiling points; have similar chemical properties  
🗑
Name the first 4 alcohols   Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol and Butanol  
🗑
Name the first 4 carboxylic acids   Methanoic acid, Ethanoic acid, Propanoic acid and Butanoic acid  
🗑
What is the general formula of AlkAnes?   CnH2n+2  
🗑
What is the general formula of AlkEnes?   CnH2n  
🗑
Describe the reaction that happens to Ethanol left in a room?   Ethanol will oxidise (react with Oxygen) to become Ethanoic Acid  
🗑
Describe the use of vinegar   as a flavouring and as a preservative  
🗑
Name the products of reaction of ethanoic acid with a metal like Magnesium   Hydrogen gas and a salt, Magnesium Ethanoate  
🗑
Name the products of reaction of ethanoic acid with bases, like Sodium Hydroxide   Water and a salt, Magnesium Ethanoate  
🗑
Name the products of reaction of ethanoic acid with carbonates   Carbon Dioxide gas and a salt, Magnesium Ethanoate  
🗑
Describe what you would see when you place ethanoic acid in universal indicator   the indicator will turn red  
🗑
Describe what you would see when you react ethanoic acid with sodium carbonate   Bubbles of carbon dioxide gas  
🗑
Describe what you would see when you react ethanoic acid with Calcium   Bubbles of hydrogen gas  
🗑
Name the products of reaction of ethanol with ethanoic acid   ethyl ethanoate and water  
🗑
Name the products of reaction of propanol with ethanoic acid   propyl ethanoate and water  
🗑
Name the products of reaction of methanol with butanoic acid   methyl butanoate and water  
🗑
Write the equation for the reaction of ethanol with ethanoic acid using molecular and structural formulae   CH3-CH2-O-H + CH3-CH2-CO-O-H  CH3-CH2-CO-O-CH2-CH3 + H2O  
🗑
What is the structural formula of Ethyl Ethanoate?   CH2-COO-CH2-CH3  
🗑
Describe uses of esters   as flavourings and perfumes, as they are pleasant smelling  
🗑
Describe uses of polyesters   as fibres to make fabric and as plastics for making bottles  
🗑
can polyesters be recycled?   yes, to form fleece that is used to make clothing  
🗑
Describe the structure of oils and fats   they are tri-esters of glycerols  
🗑
Describe how oils can be converted to soap   By boiling with concentrated sodium hydroxide  
🗑
Name the products of the reaction of oils and fats when boiling with concentrated alkali solution   soaps and glycerol  
🗑
Describe the structure of soaps   sodium or potassium salts of long carbon chain carboxylic acids  
🗑
Describe how a soap removes dirt or grease   part of the soap, the head, is an anion is hydrophilic and dissolves in water; the other part, the tail, is hydrophobic and will dissolves in dirt or grease; a micelle forms and lifts away the grease spot; the micelle is washed away with rinsing waters  
🗑
Describe how liquid oils can be converted to solid fats   by catalytic hydrogenation  
🗑
Describe what happens to the oil structure during catalytic hydrogenation   the C=C unsaturation is removed when the Hydrogen adds on either side of the C=C bond  
🗑
Describe how oil can be converted to margarine   add H2 to the oil with a Nickel catalyst  
🗑
How would you draw an oil?   Draw a coat hanger; add C=O; add a wiggly chain  
🗑
