Chemistry paper 2 Flashcards
Rate of reaction practical : gas
Dilute hydrochloric acid + Magnesium ribbon
Do on top of scales
Rate of reaction practical : precipitate
Dilute sodium thiosulfate + Dilute hydrochloric acid
Do on top of a cross
Equilibrium meaning
The point in a reversible reaction at which the forward and backward rate of reaction are the same.
Temp increase on equilibrium
Equilibrium moves towards endothermic side to try to decrease it. More products from endothermic direction.
Temp decrease on equilibrium
Equilibrium moves towards exothermic side to increase temperature. More products from exothermic side.
Increasing pressure on equilibrium
Moves in direction with less molecules of gas
Decreasing pressure on equilibrium
Moves in direction with more gas molecules
Increasing conc. of reactants on equilibrium
Makes more products
Decreasing conc. of products on equilibrium
Makes more products
Homologous series
Group of organic compounds that react the same way
The longer a hydrocarbon chain…
The more viscous
The higher the boiling point
The less flammable
Hydrocarbon + Oxygen
Carbon dioxide + water
Long hydrocarbons in the fractionating column
Condense back into liquids at the bottom
Short hydrocarbons in the fractionating column
Condense further up the column
Catalytic cracking
- Heat long chain hydrocarbons to vapourise
- Pass vapour over hot powdered aluminium oxide catalyst
Steam cracking
- Vapourise the long chain hydrocarbons
- Mix with steam
- Heat to a very high temperature
Products of cracking
Shorter chain hydrocarbon + alkene
Alkene + oxygen
water + carbon monoxide + soot
Hydrogenation of an alkene
Addition of hydrogen - 150°C and nickel catalyst
Steam + alkene
Passed over a phosphoric acid catalyst to make an alcohol
300°C and 70 atm
Alkene + halogen
(They react with halogens)
Ethene + bromine makes dibromoethane
Test for alkenes
Add bromine water - solution turns colourless
Petrol and diesel
Fuel cars
Kerosene
Jet fuel
