22
Q

What is a Substitution reaction in alkanes?

A

one atom or group of atoms is replaced by another atom or group of atoms

23
Q

What happens when alkanes react with bromine or chlorine?

A

A photochemical reaction with UV light takes place

UV is used to provide activation energy

24
Q

Write an equation for the reaction between chlorine and methane

A

Methane + Chlorine —-> Chloromethane + HCl

In the presence of UV light

25
Q

Write an equation for the reaction between Ethane and Bromine

A

Ethane + Bromine —> bromoethane + Hydrogen Bromide

26
Q

Compare the flames when alkanes and alkenes are burned

A

alkanes burn with a clean flame and alkenes with a sooty flame

27
Q

What happens when you add alkenes to aqueous bromine?

A

It will decolourise bromine whater immediatley

This is used to distinguish between saturated and unsturated hydrocarbon

28
Q

What are the products of the combustion of an alkene?

Alkene + Oxygen

A

Carbon dioxide + Water

29

How many products are made in the addition reactions of alkenes?

A

one

30
Q

Ethene + Steam

Addition of Steam - Hydration

A

Ethanol

Phosporic catalyst, 300 C , 60atm/6000kPa

31
Q

Ethene + Hydrogen?

Addition of Hydrogen - Hydrogenation

A

Ethane

Nickel catalyst, 150 - 130 C

Alkene + Hydrogen -> Alkane

32
Q

Ethene + Bromine

Addition of a Halogen - Halogenation

A

Dibromoethane

33
Q

What are the two methods of manufacturing and alcohol?

A

Fermentation and catalytic addition of stem

34
Q

Equation for the of glucose in the abscense of oxygen?

Anaerobic respiration

A

Glucose —> Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + 2ATP

25 - 30 C in the presence of yeast

35
Q

Uses of Ethanol?

A

as a solvent and a fuel

36

Q

What are the problems cause by the disposal of plastic?

Plastics are made from polymers

A

(a) disposal in land fill sites
(b) accumulation in oceans
(c) formation of toxic gases from burning

40

Q

What are the monomers of Nylon

polyamide

A

dicarboxylic and diamine

amine is NH3, present in proteins

44
Q

Proteins are…?

A

natural polyamides and that
they are formed from amino acid monomers

acid, amine group and CHR. R changes eg R is H for glycine
