Organic Reactions Flashcards
What is a substitution reaction
A hydrogen atom or functional group is replaced by another atom or molecule
What is a addition reaction
two or more molecules combine to go a larger one
What is a elimination reaction
The reverse of addition reaction
What is condensation reaction
Two molecules react to form a a larger molecule and another smaller one such as H20
What is oxidation reaction?
The addition of oxygen atoms or the removal of hydrogen atoms
What is a reduction reaction
The addition of hydrogen atoms or the removal of oxygen atoms (reverse of oxidation)
Which one of the homologous series can undergo combustion and substitution
Alkane
What is the difference between incomplete and complete combustion
During combustion when there is a limited oxygen supply, it is incomplete combustion, and CO or C is formed instead of carbon dioxide (complete combustion)
When an alkene C20H42 is heated with a catalyst under suitable conditions, 6 Ethane molecules and one other molecule is formed. What reaction has occurred
Catalyst cracking
What is formed during combustion of Alkanes
CO2/CO/C and water
What is the condition required for the substitution reaction of Alkane to occur
Presence of UV light
What is a halogen (used to react with alkanes in substitution reactions)
An organic compound where one or more H atoms is replaced by another atom like F Cl Br I etc
Name in order top to bottom products of fractional distillation of crude oil
Petroleum gas Gasoline Naphtha Paraffin Diesel oil Lubricating oil Bitumen
What is the catalyst for catalyst cracking?
Aluminum oxide or silicon IV oxide
What is the temperature for catalyst cracking of alkanes
600 degrees
What does catalyst cracking do
Converts long chains to short chains
What does combustion of alkanes produce
CO2 and H2O only
What are the three types of addition reaction
Addition of halogen
Addition of steam
Addition of hydrogen
