Q

are gases usually small or big molecules?

20
Q

is the boiling point of larger molecules higher or lower

21
Q

meaning of volatility

A

how easy it vaporises

22
Q

viscosity meaning

A

how thick it is

23
Q

are smaller molecules easy or harder to ignite

24
Q

3 types of fossil fuels

A

coal, crude oil, natural gas

25
formation of fossil fuels in 9 steps
1) plants and animals die 2) squashed and heated by sediment 3) decompose without oxygen 4) covered for millions of years 5) oil and gas molecules produces 6) covered with sand and silt called sediment 7) crude oil formed as a mixture of hydrocarbons 8) drill into rock to release pressure 9) crude oil and natural gas ride to surface
26
4 examples of alkanes
methane, ethane, propane, butane
27
are alkanes saturated or unsaturated and why
saturated, they only have single bonds
28
general formula of alkane
CnH2n+2
29
what test is used to test if a substance is saturated or unsaturated
bromine test
30
what homologous group gives a positive result in a bromine test
alkenes
31
what happens to alkenes in bromine tests
goes colourless
32
4 steps of a bromine test
- add one pipette of bromine water in test tube - add 3-4 drops of substance - put a bung on the tube and shake - observe color
33
what reaction happens between alkene and bromine
addition reaction
34
meaning of cracking
decomposes large saturated molecules into smaller molecules and also produce unsaturated molecules
35
_______ and _________ are used to decompose large paraffin molecules
heat, catalyst
36
why do we use cracking
large hydrocarbon molecules like paraffins are in less demand than other hydrocarbons like gasoline
37
blue ____ _______ ____ is used to test for the presence of water, it turns from ___ to _____
cobalt chloride paper, blue, pink
38
what gas is needed for combustion
oxygen
39
what are the products of combustion
water, CO2
40
what happens when there is not enough oxygen in combustion
incomplete combustion
41
products of incomplete combustion
corbon monoxide, carbon (soot), water
42
dangers of carbon monoxide
combines with hemoglobin in red blood cells in place of oxygen -- decrease the amount of oxygen red blood cells can carry
43
one example of cracking
heptane heated with catalyst to produce pentane and ethene
44
general formula of alcohols
CnH2n+1OH
45
ethanol is most commonly used as ... x3
fuel, disinfectant, solvent
46
alcohol burns in air to produce ________ and ________ __________ in complete _________
water, carbon dioxide, combustion
47
materials for fermentation
apples, yeast, glucose, water
