Q

Fermentation

A

Chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically
- ethanol produced when sugar solutions are fermented using yeast

25
Fractional distillation
Used to separate mixture of liquids - have different boiling points so can be separated into different fractions
26
Fuel
Substance which releases energy when burned
27
Homologous series
Series of compounds with same functional group and similar chemical properties
28
Incomplete combustion
Combustion which is carried out with insufficient oxygen -> leads to production of carbon monoxide
29
Isomerism
Molecules with exactly same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms
30
Microbial oxidation
Ethanol undergoes microbial oxidation to produce ethanoic acid -> oxidisation of substance by microorganisms
31
Products of incomplete combustion
Carbon (soot)
32
Polyester
Category of polymers which contains the ester functional group in their main chain -> formed by condensation reaction between a diol and dicarboxylic acid
33
Saturated hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbon compound containing only single bonds between carbon atoms E.g. alkanes
34
Homologous
Similar properties and so react in similar ways
35
Shorter alkanes
More flammable and less viscous
36
Complete combustion equations
Fuel + oxygen —> carbon dioxide and water Exothermic
37
Steam cracking
Long-chain hydrocarbons are heated to turn them into a gas. The hydrocarbon vapour is then mixed with steam and heated to a very high temperature which caused them to split into smaller molecules.
38
Structural formula
A formula which shows the arrangement of atoms in the molecule of a compound but does not show all the bonds between them. E.g. CH,CH,COCH,
39
Characteristic of compounds in a homologous series
- same general formula - same functional group - similar reactions - trend in physical properties
40
Making ethanol: fermentation
C6H1206 —yeast—> 2CH3CH2OH + 2CO2 - At 30 degrees - Yeast is the catalyst so if conc of alcohol is above 12%-14% yeast dies - batch process and anaerobic to prevent microbial oxidisation to ethanoic acid
41
Making ethanol: hydration of ethene
Addition reaction - 300 degrees and react w/ steam (H20) - 60-70 atm pressure - phosphoric acid catalyst - continuous process and uses ethene made from cracking
42
oxidisation of alcohols: microbial oxidisation bacteria
CH3CH2OH + 02 —> CH3 COOH (vinegar/ethanoic acid) + H20
43
oxidisation of alcohols: acidified potassium dichromate
Orange -> greeen
44
CH3CH20H + 02 —>
Oxygen in air would react with ethanol and form ethanoic acid
45
Ethanol will burn in air, name products of reaction and equation
C2H5OH + 3O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O
46
Ethanol can be oxidised to ethanoic acid, name chemicals required
Potassium dichromate and dilute sulphuric acid
47
Batch processes
- rate of ethanol produced in slower - less pure - less use of finite resources (uses renewable)
48
Continuous process
- rate of ethanol produced in faster - more pure - more finite resources used
49
Reaction of carboxylic acids
Like acids -> released H+ when dissolved in water
50
Product formed when magnesium is placed in propanoic acid
Magnesium propanate + effervescence
51
Ethanoic acid common name
Vinegar
52
Increased concentration of particles means that
More frequency collisions and reaction rate with be greater
53
H2S04
Sulphuric acid
54
Fermentation advantages
Uses lower pressure and temperature which means energy costs are lower than hydrating -> batch process
55
Ethanol chemical equation
C2H5OH
56
Why is fermentation done in absence of air
Oxygen in air would react with ethanol and form ethanoic acid common
57
Disposal of polymers
- sort and recycle - incinerate in power stations
58
Halogen + alkane —(UV) —>
Halogenoalkane + hydrogen halide
59
Alkenes with bromine water vs alkanes
Alkenes - orange to colourless Alkanes - remains orange
