A

A chemical reaction in which an atom or a group of atoms is exchanged for a nucleophile

28
Q

Why are there still CFC concerns even though they are banned?

A

There are other ozone depleting substances
They take many years to reach the ozone layer
They are not banned everywhere

29
Q

What makes CF3Cl a suitable propellant?

A 
Gas
Volatile
Nontoxic
Non flammable
Unreactive
Liquified under pressure
30
Q

How can we get rid of polymer waste?

A

A

Methanol
Ethanol
Propanol

32
Q

How do you make a aldehyde with oxidation?

A

Gentle heating

33
Q

How do you make a carboxylic acid with oxidation?

A

Heating under reflux

Excess potassium dichromate

34
Q

How do you make a ketone with oxidation?

A

Heat under reflux

35
Q

What is hydrolysis?

A

A chemical reaction in which water is a reactant.

There are alkali hydrolysis reactions where -OH is the reacting species

36
Q

How can you measure the rate of hydrolysis?

A

Measure halide ions but looking at coloured precipitated when acidified silver nitrate is added
Measure how long it takes to form

37
Q

Initiation step of homolytic fission of C-Cl bonds

A

C2F2Cl2 -> C2F2Clr + Cl

38
Q

Propagation steps of chlorine radicals

A

Clr + O3 -> RClO + O2

RClO + O3 -> Clr + 2O2

39
Q

Steps of nitrogen monoxide decomposing ozone

A

RNO + O3 -> rNO2 + O2

RNO2 + O -> rNO + O2

40
Q

What is distillation?

A

A technique used to separate miscible liquids or solutions

41
Q

What is reflux?

A

A technique used to stop reaction mixtures boiling away into the air

42
Q

What two factors affect the reactivity of hydrolysis reactions of haloalkanes?

A
  • Strength of the C-X bond (larger atoms = stronger shielding= easier to break)
  • Polarity of the C-X bond (polarity decreases down the group)
43
Q

Colour of AgCl

A

white

44
Q

Colour of AgBr

A

cream

45
Q

Colour of AgI

A

yellow

46
Q

Which haloalkane has the highest rate of hydrolysis?

A

C-I because the bond is weakest and easiest to break

47
Q

What do you need when investigating the speed of hydrolysis of haloalkanes?

A

ethanol as solvent

AgNO3

48
Q

Common drying agents

A

CaCl2 and MgSO4

49
Q

6 ways to separate compunds

A 
Distillation
Solvent extraction
Washing
Drying
Filtration
Recrystallisation
50
Q

Describe recrystallisation

A 
Product dissolved in minimum volume of hot solvent
Filter (removes insoluble impurities)
Cool
Crystals should form
Filter to remove soluble impurites
51
Q

Describe melting point determination

A
  • place solid in capillary tube
  • place in liquid which has a biling point above our solids melting point
  • place alongside thermometer and watch how melting occurs
  • compare MP to known value
52
Q

Describe boiling point determination

A

Measure BP

Impurities would increase this

53
Q

What are the three types of distillation?

A

Simple
Steam
Fractional

54
Q

Describe steam distillation

A

-separates insoluble liquid from aqueous solution
-steam lowers BP of immiscible liquid and causes it to evaporate and condense
WE GET A MIXTURE OF IMMISCIBLE LIQUID AND WATER

55
Q

Test for unsaturated hydrocarbon

A

Few drops of bromine water and shake
Bromine water will become decolourised
Orange brown - colourless

56
Q

Test for haloalkanes

A

Silver nitrate
Ethanol
Water, different colour precipitates due to AgX being formed

57
Q

First test for carbonyl group

A

acidified potassium dichromate goes orange to green with aldehydes
orange solution with dichromate (VI) ions is reduced to a green solution containing chromium (III) ions

58
Q

Last test for carbonyl group

A

Fehlings solution, aldehydes go dark red (from blue)

The blue copper (III) ions are reduced to give a precipitates of copper (I) oxide

59
Q

What does degree of vibration depend on?

A
  • Bond strength (stronger = higher frequency)
  • Bond length
  • Mass of atoms
60
Q

Applications of IR spectroscopy

A
  • Breathalysers (-OH functional group)
  • Air quality (levels of pollutants, such as CO and NO are measured)
  • Forensics (chemicals present at crime scenes, fuels, accelerants, plastics)
61
Q

What are absorptions in the fingerprint region caused by?

A

Bending rather than stretching

62
Q

How do you determine relative molecular mass with mass spectrometry?

A

By looking at the molecular ion peak

63
Q

What is the m+1 peak?

A

Appears in the presence of C-13

Appear in more significant percentages in larger molecules

64
Q

Uses of mass spec outside the lab

A

breathalysers
monitoring air pollution
MOT emission testing

65
Q

Conditions for yeast fermentation

A

anaerobic
aqueous
temp range 25-40 degrees

66
Q

Whats reduced in the oxidation of alcohols?

A

Cr (VI) to Cr3+
