Test for carboxyl group

A
  • neutralisation

- effervescence of CO2

28
Q

Homologous series

A

a series of organic compounds having the same func onal group but with each successive member di ering by CH2

29

A

compounds with the same molecular
formula but different structural formulae

30

A

overlap of orbitals directly between the bonding atoms

31
Q

Pi bonds

A

sideways overlap of adjacent p-orbitals above and below the bonding C atoms

32
Q

the benefits for sustainability of processing waste
polymers by: combustion for energy productions

A
  • burnt to generate steam to drive a turbine to produce electricity
  • high stores energy value
33
Q

the benefits for sustainability of processing waste
polymers by: use as an organic feedstock for the production of plastics and other organic chemicals

A

Feedstock recycling is able to handle unsorted and unwashed polymers

34
Q

the benefits for sustainability of processing waste
polymers by:
removal of toxic waste products

A

Otherwise when burnt, PCV releases HCl(g)

- now uses solvents to dissolve the monomer

35
Q

the benefits to the environment of development of biodegradable

A
  • break down by microorganisms

- leaves no visible or toxic residues

36
Q

the benefits to the environment of development of photodegradable polymers.

A
  • bonds weaken by absorbing light to start degradation

- light- absorbing additives can be used
