Q

What are the conditions for the fermentation of glucose?

A

yeast provides enzymes that act as catalyst

37°C so enzymes don’t denature

No O2 anaerobic respiration

Q

What is it meant by carbon neutral?

A

no net emissions of carbon dioxide

(CO2 released is balanced by CO2 taking in by photosynthesis)

Q

Why is the fermentation of glucose not truly carbon neutral?

A

CO2 will be made from other processes

(burning the fossil fuels and transportation)

heat

concentrated sulphuric acid as catalyst

18
Q

what are the observations when potassium dichromate oxidises alcohol?

A

colour changes from orange to green

19
Q

What is formed when primary alcohols are oxidised?

A

Aldehydes

20
Q

How are primary alcohols oxidised?

A

using potassium dichromate under the conditions of distillation

21
Q

What is formed when Aldehydes are oxidesed?

A

carboxylic acids

22
Q

How is an Aldehyde oxidised?

A

using acified potassium dichromate
under conditions of reflux and excess acid

23
Q

What is the equation for ethanol being oxidised to ethanal?

A

CH3CH2OJ + [O] > CH3CHO + H20
ethanol. ethanal. water

(O) = oxidising agent

A

CH3CH2OH > 2[O] > CH3COOH + H2O

25
Q

What is formed when secondary alcohols are oxidised?

A

Ketones

26
Q

How are secondary alcohols oxidised ?

A

under conditions of distillation

27
Q

Why can ketones not be oxidised further?

A

C-C bond is too strong

28
Q

What is distillation?

A

separates a mixture of liquids with different boiling points

29
Q

What are the conditions for the reactants during oxidation of a primary alcohols to a carboxylic acif
