Q

why cracking

A
  • demand for short chain (more uses)
  • supply of long chain (more than used = surplus)
  • alkenes make polymers
  • short alkanes more flammable

17
Q

how to tell it’s an ester made

A

volatile with a distinctive sweet smell
- used as flavourings / perfume

18
Q

make ester

A

carboxylic acid + alcohol > ester + water
CONDENSATION
catalyst - sulphuric acid

19
Q

ester

A

-COO

20
Q

disposal polymers

A
  • can’t biodegrade as inert
  • take up space in landfill
  • produce toxic gases eg CO2 when burnt
    (biopolyesters are biodegradable)
21
Q

condensation polymerisation

A

2 diff monomers join
- diol + dioc acid > polymer + water
CONDENSATION bc water is made

22
Q

addition polymerisation

A

via rearrangement of bonds no loss of atoms
alkene > poly (alkene)
by heat and pressure

23
Q

make polymers

A

repeated monomers joined together
addition polymerisation
condensation polymerisation

24
Q

uses of polymers

A

poly ethene - plastic bags
PVC - water pipes
polypropene - crates / rope
polystyrene - packaging
teflon - non stick plans
nylon - clothes

fermentation of glucose
- using enzymes on yeast
30°C
anaerobic

26
