31
Q

this refers to chromatography

what is the mobile and stationary phase?

A

mobile phase-a substance the molecules can move in e.g solvent
stationary- a substance the molecules cannot move in e.g the paper

32
Q

describe the method to test for chlorine

A
  1. add damp litmus paper to the test tube with the gas in it.
  2. if it turns white, chlorine is present
33
Q

A
  1. add a glowing splint to the test tube with the gas in it
  2. if oxygen is present it will re-light
34

35
Q

36
Q

what is the word equation for the production of ethanol?

A

glucose -> ethanol + carbon dioxide

37
Q

what conditions are needed for fermentation?

A

addition of yeast
absence of oxygen
temp of 5-45 degrees

38
Q

why are alkenes able to form polymers, unlike alkanes?

A

they are unsaturated
they are able to bond to other molecules

39
Q

what 3 gases make up our atmosphere?
from most to least

A

nitrogen
oxygen
argon

40
Q

State two differences between the atmosphere today and the atmosphere of billions of years ago.

A

amount of CO2 is much lower
amount of O2 is much higher

41
Q

what are the 3 ways of measuring the rate of a reaction?

A

colour change
change in mass
volume of gas gained or lost

42
Q

what is a homologous series?

A

compounds with the same functional group

43
Q

why are hydrocarbons used as fuel?

A

they release a large amount of energy when combusted

44
Q

give 4 factors which affect a chemical rate of reaction

A

temperature
concentration
surface area
catalyst

45
Q

what does the collision theory state?

A

for particles to react, they have to collide with sufficient energy

46
Q

what is equilibrium?

A

where a forwards and backwards reaction occur at the same rate

47
Q

what system is required to reach equilibrium?

A

a closed system

48
Q

how does the equilibrium shift left or right?

A

it shifts to the side where there is more of the substance. e.g if there are more products than reactants, it will shift to the right.

49
Q

what is le chateliers principle?

A

if the conditions of a reversible reaction are changed, the position of the equilibrium will shift to try counteract the change

50
Q

if temperature is decreased in an exothermic reaction, which way will the equilibrium shift?

A

right

51
Q

give 3 factors which affect the position of equilibrium

A

temperature
pressure
concentration

52
Q

what is the difference between saturated (alkanes) and unsaturated (alkenes) hydrocarbons?

A

saturated- contains no double bonds
unsaturated- contains double bonds

53
Q

what is the word equation for complete combustion?

A

hydrocarbon + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water

producing loads of energy

54
Q

name the steps of fractional distillation

A

The first step is to heat the crude oil to a very high temperature so that all of the compounds are evaporated from liquid to gas.
The hot gaseous hydrocarbons then rise up the fractionating column (because hot gas rises).
As they rise, they cool down, because the top of the column is cooler than the bottom.
The hydrocarbons will condense when they become cooler than their boiling point, and the liquid hydrocarbons then collect in trays and drain out.
The longer chain hydrocarbons condense at the bottom of the fractionating column because they have high boiling points.
Meanwhile the shorter chain hydrocarbons condense at the top of the column because they have much lower boiling points.

55
Q

what is the word equation for cracking?

A

long chain alkane= short chain alkane + alkene

balanced

56
Q

what type of reaction is cracking?

A

thermal decomposition

addition reactions (double bond breaks)

58
Q

give 2 uses of ethanol

A
  1. alcoholic drinks
  2. used as a biofuel
59
Q

why are carboxylic acids weak?

A

as they dont fully ionise in water

why are condensation polymers biodegradeable?

A

ester links can be broken down by micro-organisms

64
Q

Which monomers combine to form a polypeptide?

A

amino acids

condensation reaction

65
Q

in paper chromotography, what is the equation for the rf value?
