17
Q

alcohol suffix

A

‘ol’

18
Q

alcohol general formula

A

CnH2n+1OH

19
Q

complete combustion of an alcohol

A

ethanol + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water

20
Q

what can you do with the hydroxyl functional group

A

oxidise to form carboxylic acid

21
Q

carboxylic acid functional group

A

carboxyl, -COOH

22
Q

carboxylic acid suffix

A

‘anoic acid’

23
Q

how can a carboxyilic acid be formed

A

when an alcohol reacts with oxidising agent such as potassium manganate solution

24
Q

how can ethanol be oxidised to ethanoic acid

A

add acidified potassium manganate solution to a test tube of ethanol and warm in a water bath. colour change from purple to very pale pink

25
Q

carboxylic acid reacts with metals to form

A

salts and hyddrogen

26
Q

carboxylic acid reacts with alkalis or bases to form

A

salts and water

27
Q

carboxylic acid reacts with carbonates to form

A

salts, water and carbon dioxide

28
Q

suffix for salt formed in carboxylic acid reaction

A

‘oate’ like ethanoate

29
Q

crude oil is formed from

A

the remains of marine organisms that lived millions of years ago

30
Q

crude oil is a

A

fossil fuel, finite resource

31
Q

why is crude oil non-renewable

A

it is being used up quicker than it is being formed

32
Q

what is crude oil made up of

A

complex mixture of hydrocarbons, mostly alkanes

33
Q

the more carbon atoms there are in alkane molecules…

A

larger the molecules, stronger the intermolecular forces, higher the boiling point
