C10 Flashcards
Alkene reaction with halogens
Alkene + Bromine —-> Halogenoalkane
What happens during incomplete combustion of alkenes?
This produces water, carbon monoxide and carbon (soot). This causes a smoky flame.
What is the functional group of carboxylic acid?
-COOH
What is a carboxylic acid?
The carboxylic acids are a homologous series of organic compounds . Carboxylic acids contain the carboxyl functional group (-COOH). Carboxylic acids end in ‘-oic acid’.
What are esters?
Esters are formed by the condensation reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. .The functional group (-COO) is known as the ester link. The main use of esters is for flavourings and perfumes, however they can also be used in the chemicals industry as solvents.
Example of esters
ethyl propanoate, propyl methanoate, propyl ethanoate, and methyl butanoate
Example of carboxylic acid
Methanoic acid, ethanoic acid and propanoic acid
Alcohol + Oxygen —->
Alcohol + Oxygen —-> Carbon Dioxide + Water
Sodium + Alcohol —->
Sodium + Alcohol —-> Sodium Alkoxide + Hydrogen
Sodium + Ethanol —> Sodium Ethoxide + Hydrogen
Carboxylic Acid + Alcohol —->
Carboxylic Acid + Alcohol —-> Ester
What is esterification?
Esters are produced when carboxylic acids are heated with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst. The catalyst is usually concentrated sulphuric acid.
What is seen when ethene is bubbled through bromine water?
Alkenes react with orange-brown bromine water and turn it colourless.
What is the word equation for fermentation to produce ethanol?
Glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide
Which carboxylic acid is produced when butanol is oxidised?
Butanoic acid
What is more reactive (alkanes or alkenes)?
Alkenes, this is because they have the carbon-carbon double bond
