Q

How does viscosity change as the carbon chain increases and why?

A

If the number of carbon atoms increases, the attraction between the hydrocarbon molecules also increases which results in the liquid becoming more viscous with the increasing length of the hydrocarbon chain.

The liquid flows less easily with increasing molecular mass

Q

How does the melting/boiling point change as the length of the carbon chain increases?
Why?

A

As the molecules get larger, the intermolecular attraction becomes greater. So more heat is needed to separate the molecules. With increasing molecular size there is an increase in boiling point

524
Q

Distinguish between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons:
- by reaction with aqueous bromine

A

Bromine water is an orange coloured solution of bromine.

When bromine water is shaken with an Alkane, it will remain as an orange solution as alkanes do not have double carbon bonds (C=C) so the bromine remains in solution.
But when bromine water is shaken with an alkene, the alkene will decolourise the bromine water and turn colourless as alkenes do have double carbon bonds (C=C).
The bromine atoms add across the C=C double bond hence the solution no longer contains the orange coloured bromine.

Hydrolysis of esters.

React the ester with either a concentrated acid or concentrated alkali

e.g. HCl or NaOH

573
Q

How to identify esters

A

Esters have a distinctive smell, usually pleasant.

574
Q

Esters - Solubility in water?

Potassium dichromate and sulphuric acid

1 atmosphere

50 degrees C

576
Q

Define addition polymerisation and condensation polymerisation

A

Addition polymerisation = A chemical reaction in which a polymer is formed from the adding together of many monomer molecules

Condensation polymerisation = The joining together of many of two different monomer molecules to form one single long molecule (polymer) during which a small molecule is removed (condensed). This is usually water

577
Q

Example and use of:

1-Natural polymer

2-Synthetic polymer

Give an example.

A

BIO-POLYMERS:
