Use the method below to name the ester made from ethanol and methanoic acid
ethyl methanoate
Esters are very volatile (evaporate easily) and smell or taste sweet. What are esters used for?
fragrances in perfumes OR flavourings in food
What conditions are needed for microbial oxidation of ethanol?
Oxygen so that aerobic respiration can occur
30ºC
1 atm
Formation of ethanoic acid - vinegar
Name the homologous series
carboxylic acid
How do you know that the formation of ethanoic acid from ethanol is oxidation?
ethanol has gained oxygen
What are the conditions needed in a fermenter?
30ºC
1 atm
no oxygen
What type of reaction is shown below?
Complete combustion of ethanol
It is an exothermic reaction
Draw the structural formula of ethanol
What are products for the reaction between ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate
metal carbonate + acid –> salt + water + carbon dioxide
Describe the conditions for fermentation of glucose
30ºC
yeast
1 atm
no oxygen (anaerobic)
Name this molecule
-O-H group - therefore it is an alcohol
4 carbons
butan-1-ol
Which homologous series does this molecule belong to?
alcohol
Name the molecule
methanol
What are the disadvantages of the addition of of ethene to make ethanol?
- expensive process - (high temp and pressure)
- non-renewable ethene is needed
- very technical process - needing expertise.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of food such as corn being made into fuel (alcohol)?
Advantage: it is renewable
Disadvantage: It uses up land that would normally be used to grow food for people- this increases food prices
Draw the dot cross diagram for ethanol
Draw the displayed formula of ethanol
Complete the word equation for fermentation of glucose with yeast
glucose –> ethanol + carbon dioxide
Draw the displayed formula for propan-1-ol
