Q

What is the formula for Alkenes?

A

C(n)H(2n)

17
Q

Describe the reactions of Alkenes?

A
  • Alkenes are more reactive (due to double bond)
  • Alkenes react with oxygen in combustion
  • Tend to burn with smokier flames (due to incomplete combusition)
18
Q

What do Alkenes do in Bromine water?

A

They turn it from orange to colourless

19
Q

How can aqueous solution of ethanol be produced?

A

By fermentation

20
Q

What are alcohols?

A

They are carbon based molecules with the functional group -OH

21
Q

What do alcohols do?

A
  • Dissolve in water forming neutral solutions
  • React with sodium to produce hydrogen
  • Burn in air producing C02 and H20
22
Q

What is the functional group for Carboxylic Acids?

A

-COOH

23
Q

Describe carboxylic acids.

A
  • Dissolve in water to form acidic solutions
  • React with carbonates to produce CO2
  • React with alcohols forming esters
  • Do not ionise fully in water
24
Q

What forms esters?

A

Alcohols and carboxylic acids reacting together

25
Q

What is the functions group for esters?

A

-COO

26
Q

HT:

What are the two groups for Amino acids

A
  • The amine group (NH2)

- AND the carboxyl group (COOH)

27
Q

What is DNA?

A

A very large molecule

28
Q

What is DNA made from?

A

It is made from two polymer chains constructed from four different nucleotides

29
Q

What are Starch and Cellulose?

A

They are polymers are sugars which are both forms of carbohydrates

30
Q

Why are alkenes useful for making polymers?

A

because they are unsaturated

31
Q

What is additional polymerisation?

A

When many monomers join together to form polymers

32
Q

What do the properties of polymers depend on?

A
  • What it is made from

- The conditions it was made in (E.g. Temperature)

33
Q

Describe Termosoftening polymers.

A
  • They have weak Intermolecular forces

- Consist of individual polymer chains which are tangled together

34
Q

Describe Termosetting polymers?

A
  • Consists of polymer chains which are joined together by cross links.
  • Do not melt when are heated
35
Q

HT:

What are condensation polymers?

A

They are monomers which join together to form polymer molecules

36
Q

When are the simplest polymers formed

A

They are formed when diols join together with Dicarboxylic acids

37
Q

When Amino acids join together by condensation polymerisation what do they form?

A

They form polypeptides and water

38
Q

What is a peptide link?

A

is the bond formed between the carboxyl group and the amino acid groups when amino acids join together
