Q

Test for alkene

A

Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes
- So react with bromine water
- Will go orange to colourless if it is an alkene

Q

What do alkenes react with, and how?

A

Hydrogen
Water
Halogens

Happens because of an addition of atoms across the double bond, and makes it a single bond

Q

what happens when any of the first four carboxylic
acids react with carbonates

A

Form a salt, water and carbon dioxide

17
Q

what happens when any of the first four carboxylic
acids dissolve in water

A

Form acidic solutions with pH values less than 7

18
Q

what happens when any of the first four carboxylic
acids react with alcohols

A

Forms an ester

19
Q

What is condensation polymerisation

A

involves monomers with two functional groups. When these types of monomers react they join
together, usually losing small molecules such as water.
