Q

How does a photometer work

A
  • Sample is put into a flame and the light given out is passed through a photometer
  • Output is a line spectrum that can be analysed to identify metal ions in the solution and measure their concentrations

Q

Why are alkenes unsaturated hydrocarbons

A
  • Contain 1 or more C=C bonds
  • Are compounds made of hydrogen and carbon only
30
Q

What is the reaction of ethene + bromine

A

Ethene + bromine -> 1,2-dibromoethane
this reaction works the same for any alkene or any halogen

31
Q

How is bromine water used to distinguish between alkenes and alkanes

A
  • Alkenes react with bromine water (go from orange to colourless)
  • Alkanes don’t react with bromine water
32
Q

Describe complete combustion of alkanes/alkenes

A
  • Alkane/alkene + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
  • Hydrocarbons oxidise to produce products
33
Q

What is a polymer

A

A substance made from long chains of
small repeating units

34
Q

What is addition polymerisation

A

A reaction where many small molecules (monomers) join to create large molecules (polymers)

35
Q

Why can any alkene be used as a monomer

A

They contain a C=C bond

36
Q

What is the difference between the structure of a monomer and the structure of an addition polymer

A

all monomers involved in addition polymerisation have a double bond

37
Q

What is the properties of Poly(ethene)

A
  • Flexible
  • Cheap
  • Electrical insulator
38
Q

What are the uses of Poly(ethene)

45
Q

Why are polyesters condensation polymers

A

dicarboxylic acid and diol molecules join releasing a water molecule for every ester link made

46
Q

How is a polyester formed when a monomer molecule containing two carboxylic acid groups is reacted with a monomer molecule containing two alcohol groups

A
  • the dicarboxylic acid loses the OH group off of each COOH group
  • the di-alcohol loses the H off of each OH group
  • the remaining molecules join together to make a polyester
47
Q

How a molecule of water is formed each time an ester link is formed

A

the OH and H groups combine to make H2O

48
Q
