31
Q

what catalyst is used for hydrogenation

32
Q

why is hydrogenation used

A

it increases the melting point of oils so things like margarine can be spread easily

33
Q

what must ethene react with to produce ethanol

34
Q

process of making ethanol

A

ethene is mixed with steam water is added across the double dons
it is passed over a catalyst alcohol formed

35
Q

what is important to remember about the reaction of ethene and steam to make ethanol

A

it is reversible

36
Q

process of purifying alcohol

A

the reaction mixture is passed into a condenser
ethanol and water have a higher boiling point than ethene so they both condense whilst any unreacted ethene gas is recycled back into reactor
it is then purified

37
Q

what happens to the colour of the mixture when an alkene and halogen react

A

the ethene takes the colour so the mixture becomes colourless

38
Q

how can bromine be used to test for alkenes

A

when orange bromine water is added to an alkene, dibromoethane will be formed, which is colourless

39
Q

what are the molecules like that are formed when an alkene and bromine react

A

they are saturated and colourless

40
Q

functional group of alcohols

41
Q

general formula of an alcohol

A

Cn H(2n+1) OH

42
Q

the first for alcohols and their formulas

A

methanol (CH3OH)
ethanol (C2H5OH)
propanol (C3H7OH)
butanol (C4H9OH)

43
Q

what is the main acid in vinegar and which homologous group does this belong to

A

ethanoic acid

carboxylic acids

44
Q

functional group of carboxylic acid

45
Q

first 4 carboxylic acids and their formulas

A 
methanoic acid (HCOOH)
ethanoic acid (CH3COOH)
propanoic acid (C2H5COOH)
butanoic acid (C4H7COOH)
46
Q

functional group of an ester

47
Q

how is an ester formed

A

when an alcohol and a carboxylic acid react

48
Q

which type of catalyst is normally used to make esters

49
Q

formula for creation of esters

A

alcohol + carboxylic acid -> ester+ water q

50
Q

what is produced when carboxylic acids dissolve in water

A

an acidic solution

51
Q

which is the ester we must know

A

ethyl ethanoate

52
Q

what is produced when a carboxylic acid reacts with a carbonate

A

salt, water and carbon dioxide

53
Q

when a carboxylic acid reacts with a carbonate to produce a salt , what will the name end in

54
Q

example of a carboxylic acid + carbonate reaction

A

ethanoic acid + sodium carbonate -> sodium ethanoate + water + carbon dioxide

55
Q

why are esters used in perfumes and food flavourings 2

A

they smell fruity and are volatile

56
Q

general equation for formation of an ester

A

carboxylic acid + alcohol -(acid catalyst )-> ester + water

57
Q

why is carbon dioxide given off slowly when a carbonate reacts with carboxylic acid

A

they are weak acids

58
Q

why must acids dissolve in water before they show their acidic properties

A

in water, all acids will ionise (split up )

59
Q

why is carbon dioxide given off slowly when a carbonate reacts with a carboxylic acid

A

they are weak acids

60
Q

what is produced when acids ionise 2

A

H+ ions and negative metal ions

61
Q

what is it that turns a solution acidic

62
Q

what makes an acid weak

A

it doesn’t completely ionise

63
Q

why are carboxylic acids weak

A

they don’t ionise completely so they only form weak acidic solutions
they have fewer H+ ions so react more slowly with carbonates

64
Q

how is ethanol made

A

fermentation

65
Q

process of fermentation

A

an enzyme in yeast converts sugars to ethanol

66
Q

equation for fermentation

A

sugar -(yeast)-> ethanol + carbon dioxide

67
Q

conditions needed for optimum fermentation 3

A

37 degrees
slightly acidic solution
anaerobic conditions

68
Q

why does fermentation have optimum conditions

A

it is when the enzyme in yeast works best

69
Q

another way of creating ethanol

A

react ethene and steam in the presence of a catalyst

70
Q

why are alcohols used as solvents

A

they dissolve everything water can and more

71
Q

why are alcohols used as fuels

A

they burn fairly cleanly and don’t smell

72
Q

what is produced when an alcohol combusts in air

A

carbon dioxide and water

73
Q

what is the reaction of sodium and an alcohol similar to

A

reaction of sodium and water

74
Q

what observations can be made when sodium reacts with 2

A

sodium produced hydrogen

gets smaller and smaller

75
Q

what is produced when the first four alcohols react with water

A

they are soluble and produce a neutral solution

76
Q

how are carboxylic acids produced

A

alcohols are oxidised in air

77
Q

why do bottles of wine taste like vinegar when left open for too long

A

the oxygen oxidises the alcohol to produce ethanoic acid (vinegar )
