Q

What are polymers more commonly used from

A

Made from Alkenes

(Used to make plastic)

17
Q

What is an Alkene

A

A hydrocarbon with Atleast one DOUBLE COVALENT BOND

18
Q

Are alkenes unsaturated or saturated

A

Unsaturated

19
Q

What’s the general formula for alkenes?

A

C^n H^2n

20
Q

How can you test for Alkenes

A

Will turn Bromine Water from ORANGE to COLOURLESS if in solution

21
Q

Why does Bromine water change colour (practical)

A

Due to the bromine atoms bonding to the alkene

by breaking the double bond

This molecule has been saturated

22
Q

What does a water and alkene make

A

An Alcohol

23
Q

What can we use cracking for

A

Break longer alkanes into shorter ALKANE with a ALKENE to meet these demands

24
Q

What is an Alcohol

A

An organic molecule with an -OH functional group

25
Q

What is the complete combustion formula with alcohol

A

Alcohol + Oxygen ——>Carbon Dioxide+ Water

26
Q

What is the formula for incomplete combustion with alcohol

A

Alcohol + Oxygen ——>carbon monoxide + water

27
Q

What does an alcohol that has been oxidised make

(hasn’t used combustion)

A

Carboxylic Acid (-COOH)

28
Q

What are polymers

A

Are long chained organic molecules of repeating sections made from MONOMERS

29
Q

What are monomers joined together by

Additional polymerisation

30
Q

What must monomers contain

A

A double bond

31
Q
