Q

What is dynamic equilibrium?

A

If a reversible reaction is carried out in a closed system the forward and backward reactions will eventually happen at the same rate.
The amount of product and reactant are constant

Q

What is Le Chatelier’s principle?

A

The conditions of the reaction are changed and the closed system will then counteract the change by either favouring the forward or the backward reaction.

Q

What is fractional distillation?

A

The different hydrocarbons in crude oil are separated into fractions based on their boiling points.
Crude oil is vaporised
Hydrocarbon gases enter and rise up the column
As they rise up the column they cool down and when they reach their boiling point they condense
The hydrocarbon fraction is collected

Long chain

20
Q

What are useful materials produced from fractional distillation?

A

Solvents, lubricants, polymers, detergents

21
Q

What is cracking?

A

Longer molecules less useful than shorter ones
Breaks long chain into small chain
Catalytic cracking = vaporise, hot catalyst
Steam cracking = mix with steam at high temp

22
Q

What are alkenes ?

A

Contain double bond between two carbons
More reactive
When mixed with bromine water it turns from orange to colourless

23
Q

What is the functional group of alkenes?

A

Two carbons with a double bond

24
Q

How are alkenes formed?

A

Cracking

25
Q

What are alkenes used for?

A

Formation of polymers
Chemical feedstock

26
Q

What happens during combustion of alkenes?

A

Complete = carbon dioxide and water
Incomplete smoky yellow flame = carbon monoxide and soot
Both release less energy than with alkanes

27
Q

What is addition with halogens in terms of alkenes?

A

The double bond is broken open and the two halogen atoms add on

28
Q

What is addition with hydrogen in terms of alkenes?

A

The double bond is broken open and the two hydrogen atoms add on to form an alkane

29
Q

What is alkene addition with steam?

A

React with steam at high pressure and temperature in the presence of a catalyst to form an alcohol

30
Q

Why are alkenes unsaturated?

A

They have double bonds
Atoms can be added to the molecule by breaking the double bond

31
Q

What is the functional group of alcohols?

A

OH

32
Q

How are alcohols formed?

A

Ethanol formed from fermentation of sugar by warming a sealed mixture of yeast and a sugar solution

33
Q

What are alcohols used in?

A

Alcoholic drinks
Solvents
Perfumes, aftershaves, mouthwashes

34
Q

How do alcohols react in combustion?

A

Combust easily with a blue flame to produce carbon dioxide and water

35
Q

How do alcohols react with sodium?

A

Release hydrogen and a alkoxide which if added to water forms a strong alkaline solution

36
Q

What is oxidation of alcohols?

A

Reacts with oxidising agents, such as dichromate to form carboxylic acids

37
Q

What is the functional group of carboxylic acids?

A

COOH

38
Q

How are carboxylic acids formed?

A

Oxidation of alcohols

39
Q

What are uses of carboxylic acids?

A

Ethanoic acid is used in vinegar

40
Q

Do carboxylic acids generally undergo combustion?

A

No

41
Q

How do carboxylic acids react with sodium carbonate?

A

Salt, carbon dioxide and water

42
Q

How do carboxylic acids react with alcohols?

A

Produce esters

43
Q

What are esters used for?

A

Perfumes
Flavourings

44
Q

Are carboxylic acids strong or weak acids?

A

Weak

45
Q

What is the monomer for enzymes and proteins?

A

Amino acids
