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 |
