Q

fermentation cost

A

sugar is renewable

cheap equipment

slow, high production cost

must be purified in fractional distillation

depletes land for crops

17
Q

biofuel

A

ethanol from fermentation can be used as biofuel

fuel from recently deceased matter

renewable

18
Q

biofuel- CO2

A

biofuel produces CO2 when burnt, but plants absorb this while growing- carbon neutral

19
Q

oxidation of primary alcohols

A

oxidising agent: acidified potassium dichromate , K2Cr2O7

orange to green
dichromate ion to chromium ion

oxidised to aldehydes

aldehydes further oxidised to carboxylic acids

20
Q

oxidation of primary alcohols equations

A

ethanol + [O] -> ethanal + H2O

ethanal + [O] -> ethanoic acid + H2O

21
Q

oxidisation of secondary alcohols

A

oxidised to ketones

reflux

acidified potassium dichromate

ketones do not oxidise easily

orange to green

22
Q

oxidisation of secondary alcohols equation

A

alcohol + [O] -> ketone + H2O

23
Q

oxidation of tertiary alcohols

A

do not undergo oxidation

no hydrogen atom bonded to carbon with OH group

24
Q

elimination

A

alkenes reformed from alcohols by acid catalysed elimination reactions

alkenes used to produce addition polymers

dehydration of alcohols

25
Q

elimination reagent

A

conc sulfuric or phosphoric acid

26
Q

elimination conditions

A

reflux

over aluminium oxide catalyst

27
Q

elimination mechanism

A

: from O to H+

C->O bond to O+

to carbocation

to alkene + H2O
