Q

fractional distillation of alkanes

A

Oil is pre-heated
* then passed into column. * The fractions condense at different heights
* The temperature of column decreases upwards
* The separation depends on boiling point. * Boiling point depends on size of molecules. * The larger the molecule the larger the van der waals forces
* Similar molecules (size, bp, mass) condense together * Small molecules condense at the top at lower temperatures

Q

fractional distillation in the lab

A
  • Heat the flask, with a Bunsen burner or electric
    mantle
  • This causes vapours of all the components in the
    mixture to be produced. * Vapours pass up the fractionating column. * The vapour of the substance with the lower boiling
    point reaches the top of the fractionating column
    first. * The thermometer should be at or below the boiling
    point of the most volatile substance. * The vapours with higher boiling points condense
    back into the flask. * Only the most volatile vapour passes into the
    condenser. * The condenser cools the vapours and condenses to
    a liquid and is collected.

Q

catalytic converters

A

These remove CO, NOx and unburned hydrocarbons (e.g. octane, C8H18)
from the exhaust gases, turning them into ‘harmless’ CO2
, N2 and H2O.

Converters have a ceramic
honeycomb coated with a thin
layer of catalyst metals
platinum, palladium, rhodium– to give a large surface area

Q

greenhouse effect

A

UV wavelength radiation passes through the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface and heats up Earth’s surface.
The Earth radiates out infrared long wavelength radiation.
The C=O Bonds in CO2 absorb infrared radiation so the IR radiation does not escape from the atmosphere.
This energy is transferred to other molecules in the atmosphere by collisions so the atmosphere is warmed.

Q

Uses of Halogenoalkanes

A

Chloroalkanes and chlorofluoroalkanes can be used as solvents.

Halogenoalkanes have also been
used as refrigerants, pesticides
and aerosol propellants CH3CCl3 was used as the solvent in dry cleaning.
Many of these uses have now been stopped due to the toxicity of
halogenoalkanes and also their detrimental effect on the atmosphere.

HBr is a polar
molecule because
Br is more
electronegative
than H. The H δ +
is
attracted to the
electron

38
Q

‘Markownikoff’s Rule’

A

In most cases, bromine will be added to the
carbon with the fewest hydrogens attached to it

If the alkene is
unsymmetrical,
addition of hydrogen
bromide can lead to
two isomeric
products.

55
Q

fermentation

A

glucose  ethanol + carbon dioxide
C6H12O6  2 CH3CH2OH + 2 CO2
The conditions needed are: *Yeast *No air *temperatures 30 –40oC
The optimum temperature for fermentation is around
38oC
At lower temperatures the reaction is too slow.
At higher temperatures the yeast dies and the enzymes
denature.
Fermentation is done in an absence of air because the
presence of air can cause extra reactions to occur.
It oxidises the ethanol produced to ethanoic acid
(vinegar).
Advantages
*sugar is a renewable resource
*production uses low level technology / cheap
equipment
Disadvantages
*batch process which is slow and gives high production
costs
*ethanol made is not pure and needs purifying by
fractional distillation
*depletes land used for growing food crops

initial costs) *ethene is non-renewable resource (will become
more expensive when raw materials run out) *high energy costs for pumping to produce high
pressures
