What is a homologous series
A group of compounds with the same general formula and similar chemical properties
What is the general formula for alkanes
CnH2n+2
What is cracking
Cracking is the name given to the process that splits the long chain hydrocarbons into smaller more useful ones
Why are Alkenes described as unsaturated
Alkenes are described as unsaturated because they contain a carbon to carbon double bond
What is the general formula for Alkenes
CnH2n
How do u test for unsaturation
Bromine solution de colourises
What is the chemical formula for glucose
C6H12O6
What is a carbohydrate
A compound containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
What is the chemical formula for sucrose
C12H22O11
How can you tell the difference between glucose and sucrose
Glucose turns Benedict’s solution from blue to orange. Sucrose has no colour change
How do plants make glucose
Through photosynthesis
What is the word equation for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + water —->glucose + oxygen
What si the definition for a condensation reaction
During a condensation reaction molecules join to gather to make larger molecules and produce a small molecule usually water in the process
What is a hydrolysis reaction
Breaking up a compound using water
Why do energy drinks use glucose rather than sucrose
Because glucose is more easily absorbed into the blood stream to provide energy
What breaks down starch
Amylase
