Module 13-14 Flashcards
exothermic chemical reaction where a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen gas and gives off energy in the form of light and heat. Fuel, a hydrocarbon easily reacts with oxygen to release useful energy.
Combustion
- Occurs when a fuel reacts rapidly with oxygen (O2) and produces carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Fuels such as natural gas and petrol is made up of hydrocarbons.
Complete combustion
Incomplete combustion
A chemical reaction where an atom or group is added to a molecule, typically involving alkenes or alkynes (unsaturated compounds) to form saturated compounds. (alkane)
Addition Reaction
Also known as a dehydration reaction, it is an organic process where two smaller molecules combine to form a larger molecule, with the elimination of a small molecule, often water.
Condensation Reaction
Other small molecules in condensation are…
hydrogen chloride, methanol, and acetic acid.
In condensation, Many organic compounds that combine with each other to produce a larger molecule are…
aldehydes, ketones, esters, alkynes, and
amines
literally known as “soap making”. It is a process by which triglycerides are reacted with sodium or potassium hydroxide (lye) to produce glycerol and a fatty acid salt called “soap”.
Saponification
What is used to make soft soap, and what is used to make hard soap?
sodium hydroxide, sodium potassium
are made by green plants during photosynthesis, a complex process in which sunlight provides the energy to convert CO2 into glucose.
Carbohydrates
one sugar unit. It can’t be hydrolyzed into smaller molecules. Examples?
Monosaccharide,
Glucose, Fructose and Galactose.
two simple sugar units per molecule linked together. Examples?
Disaccharide
Sucrose (table sugar), Maltose, and Lactose.
Many sugar units in a molecule. It can break into their constituent monosaccharide units. Examples?
Polysaccharide
Cellulose, Glycogen, and Starch
is the primary fuel from which energy is produced in living organisms.
Glucose
-Natural sugar found in
fruits
Fructose
