Feb mock Flashcards
Can ionic compounds conduct electricity?
Yes - in a molten or liquid state as the ions are free to move
However, not in a solid state as the ions aren’t able to move.
In an investigation with Carboxylic acids, why is it important to connect the gas syringe quickly?
To stop as little gas as possible from escaping.
Functional group of esters
COO
Three observations when Sodium reacts with water (GP 1 metal)
Sodium moves around the surface of water
Effervescence
Sodium eventually disappears
Why is Potassium more reactive than Sodium
-Potassium has one more shell than Sodium
-Therefore the attraction between outer shell and nucleus is weaker,
-meaning it is easier to lose the outer shell and break the attraction.
Why is aluminum malleable
Because the layers of ions can slide over each other.
What are the conditions needed for cracking
Temperature of 600-700C
Catalyst of Silica
How is crude oil separated into fractions?
-The crude oil is heated and vaporized
-The vapor is split into 6 columns based on boiling point, top is the lowest, bottom is the highest.
-The vapors then condense at their boiling points
Name two processes that occur before the solid lead iodide forms from crystallisation
Diffusion and dissolving
What is meant by the term functional group?
The part of a molecule that gives it its chemical properties.
Functional group for carboxylic acids
COOH
Functional group for Esters
COO
Functional group for alcohols
O-H
Substance needed for the fermentation of glucose
Yeast
Conditions needed for the fermentation of glucose
Anaerobic conditions (No oxygen)
30-40C so the yeast enzymes are at optimum temperature
How do we know when an ester is formed
A fruity smell is given off
