Q

How do you balance a hydrocarbon combustion equation

A
  • Number of C in the hydrocarbon is the number of C on the opposite side (paired with oxygen)
  • Half the number of H in the hydrocarbon is the number of H2O produced
  • Half the number of O atoms on the products size to find the amount of O2 needed
33
Q

What condition is required for incomplete combustion

A

Not enough oxygen

34
Q

Instead of carbon dioxide, what is produced

A

Carbon monoxide and soot

35
Q

What are the health problems associated with carbon monoxide and soot

A

CO - A toxic gas that lowers oxygen-carrying capacity of blood by binding to the hemoglobin

Soot (C) - Causes lung disease

36
Q

Why is an incomplete combustion of alkanes less useful

A

Releases less energy

37
Q

What 3 pollutant are released into the atmosphere when combusting alkanes, how are they created, and what effect do they have on the atmosphere

A
  1. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - Formed as a direct product of combustion. A greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and causes climate change
  2. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) - Family of compounds formed when nitrogen from the air combusts in the hot environment of engines. Dissolve in rainwater to form acid rain which corrodes structures and is harmful to plant and aquatic life
  3. Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) - Formed when sulphur impurities in the fuel combust. Dissolve into rainwater to form acid rain
38
Q

How do alkanes react with the halogens

A

By swapping one hydrogen atom for one halogen atom

39
Q

Ethane equation for halogen reaction

A

C2H6 + Br2 → C2H5Br + HBr

40
Q

What condition is needed for an alkane to react with a halogen and why

A

UV light - Provides the energy as the alkane is too unreactive

41
Q

What type of reaction is a halogen-alkane reaction

A

Substitution - One H atom swaps with one Br atom

42
Q

Displayed equation for a ethane-halogen reaction

A
43
Q

What conditions are needed for cracking

A
  • Temperature - 650c
  • Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) Catalyst
44
Q

Could cracking be conducted without a catalyst

A

Yes - Far more energy would have to be provided

45
Q

General equation for cracking

A

Long Alkane → Shorter Alkane + Alkene

46
Q

What must you remember when making a cracking equation

A

It makes an alkane and an alkene, and the number of C and H atoms add up

47
Q

General formula of alkenes

A

CnH2n

48
Q

How many double bonds are in an alkene chain

A

1

49
Q

Name the alkenes is order of number of C atoms

  2. Propene
  3. Butene
  4. Pentene
50
Q

How is the double bond shown in the structural formula of an alkene

A

CH2=CHCH2CH3

51
Q

Why are alkenes unsaturated

A

They have a C=C double bond

52
Q

Why are alkanes saturated

A

They don’t have a C=C double bond (single only)

53
Q

What is the equation for an alkene reacting with bromine (with ethene as an example)

A

C2H4 + Br2 → C2H4Br2

54
Q

What physically happens in an alkene-bromine reaction

A

The C=C bond breaks and the Br atoms add in where it was

55
Q

What type of reaction is an alkene -bromine reaction

A

Addition - You’re adding the bromine atoms into the alkene

56
Q

Is UV light required for an alkene-bromine reaction

A

No - Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes

57
Q

What type of bromine is needed for an alkene-bromine reaction

A

Bromine Water (or pure bromine liquid)

58
Q

What colour is bromine water

A

Orange

59
Q

How can you tell with bromine water is a mystery hydrocarbon is saturated or unsaturated

A
  1. Mix it with bromine water
  2. If it stays orange, there is no C=C bond, and it is saturated
  3. If it turn colourless, there is a C=C (unsaturated) and the bromine has been added to the alkene
60
Q

When is an addition polymer formed

A

When moleucles with a C=C double bond add into chains

61
Q

What are the small molecules and long chains called in addition polymers
