22
Q

What is the formula to calculate theoretical atom economy?

A

(Molar mass of desired product x moles of product/Molar mass of all reactants x moles of reactants) x 100

23
Q

What is biodiesel made from?

A

Triglycerides (fatty acids) and a short chained alcohol (eg methanol)

24
Q

What is the Haber compromise?

A

25
Q

What is steam reforming?

A

Production of hydrogen from fossil fuels

26
Q

What the name for the synthetic process used to synthesise sulfuric acid

A

Contact process

27
Q

What is the formula for the Haber Process?

A

N2(g) + 3H2(g) <-> 2NH3(g)

28
Q

What type of fat is vegetable oil?

A

Triglyceride

29
Q

What is the formula to calculate experimental atom economy?

A

Mass of desired product/Mass of all products x 100

30
Q

When designing an optimal synthetic pathway there is a most often a competition between 2 factors. What are they?

A

The yield of product and the rate of formation of product

31
Q

When producing Biodiesel from a trigylceride, what are the two products?

A

An ester and Gylcerol

32
Q

Write the formula for the fermentation of glucose

A

C6H12O6(aq) -> 2C2H5OH(aq) + 2CO2

33
Q

Why is vanadium oxide used as a catalyst in the production of sulphuric acid?

A

Increases the rate of reaction

34
Q

Why is water not added directly to sulphur trioxide in the contact process?

A

This would lead to an uncontrolled reaction. So the sulphur trioxide is added to sulphuric acid first before adding the water.

A

2H2 -> 4H+ + 4e-

34
Q

Write the equation for the half reaction that occurs at the cathode in a hydrogen fuel cell under alkaline conditions
