organics Flashcards
alkanes
substitution + requires UV light
alkenes
addition
bromine water
decolourises in alkenes, stays orange in alkanes
ethene + bromine
(double bond breaks)
1,2 dibromoethane
addition
ethane + bromine
bromoethane and hydrogen bromide
substitution
hydration with ethene
300 degrees c
60-70 atm
phosphoric acid catalyst
fermentation
25-30 degrees c
yeast
absence of air (bacteria in air causes oxygen to oxidise glucose)
potassium dichromate
orange to green
nitrogen and oxygen in car engine
nitrogen in a car engine reacts with oxygen in air at high temp so forms nitrogen oxide
this then reacts with water to form nitric acid which is acid rain
