Q

Fermentation process

A

Carbohydrate (from sugar cane or sugar beet) is used
Yeast cells are mixed carbohydrate in clean container
Mixture is sealed and stored in a warm place (ideally between 30°C - 40°C)
Must have no oxygen present (oxidised ethanol turns into ethanoic acid)
Alcohol concentration gets high enough to kill off yeast
Distill mixture to get more concentrated alcohol

Q

How to make concentrated ethanol

A

Fractional distillation
Ethanol has lower boiling point so will evaporate before water
This can then condense and be collected in a beaker while water stays as a liquid

34
Q

How to test for cations with precipitates

A

Add sodium hydroxide solution to compound

If hydroxide precipitate forms, colour correlates to metal ion in compound

35

A

Add sodium hydroxide solution to mystery solution
Hold damp red litmus paper over solution

A

Yellow (silver iodide)

44
Q

How to test for carbonates

A

Add dilute acid
Fizzes if carbonate is present (carbon dioxide)
Use limewater to test for carbon dioxide

45
Q

How to test for sulfate ions

A

Add dilute hydrochloric acid to stop precipitation reactions not involving sulfate ions
Add barium chloride solution
If sulfate ions present, precipitate made will be white (barium sulfate)

46
Q

Why each ion test has to be unique

A

If each test gave the same response, ions present wouldn’t be able to be differentiated from each other

47
Q

How flame photometry works

A

Each ion produced a unique line spectrum (how to identify what ion)
Intensity of measured wavelength correlates to ion’s concentration
Also can be used in mixtures

48
Q

Advantages of machines in instrumental analysis

A 
Very sensitive (can detect tiniest amounts of substance)
Very fast (can be automated)
Very accurate (no human error)
49
Q

Disposal of polymers in landfills facts

A

Done because polymers are too difficult or expensive to separate and recycle
Valuable land is used up as landfill sites
Polymers are non-biodegradable so they will stay in landfill for thousands of years

50
Q

Disposal of polymers by combustion facts

A

Burning plastics produces a lot of heat and can be used to generate electricity
Toxic gases can be released from combustion of plastics
Carbon dioxide produced can contribute to global warming

51
Q

Advantages of recycling polymers

A

Reduces amount of non-biodegradable waste on landfill sites
Reduces emissions of greenhouse and toxic gases from burning polymers
Generally uses less water and energy resources than making new plastics
Reduces amount of crude oil needed to produce more plastics
Germany saves money and creates jobs

52
Q

Disadvantages of recycling

A

Separating polymers can be difficult and expensive
Quality of final recycled polymer reduced if polymers are mixed together
Polymers can only be recycled a certain amount of times
Melting down polymers can release dangerous gases

53
Q

A

Put some alcohol in a spirit burner and measure mass
Put 100cm3 of distilled water into a copper calorimeter
Insulate calorimeter with drought excluder
Place thermometer into calorimeter and cover with insulating lid
Record initial temperature of water and light wick
Stir water through using thermometer
When temperature of water rises to 20°C, blow out spirit burner
Reweigh burner and fuel
Repeat with other alcohols

54
Q

Nanoparticles definition

A

Particles 1-100 manometers across

Have different properties from the “bulk” chemical it’s made from due to a high surface area to volume ratio

55
Q

Uses of nanoparticles

A

Good catalysts (higher surface area = more collisions)
Cosmetics e.g. sunscreen (don’t leave white marks on skin)
Nanomedicine (tiny fullerenes can deliver drugs more easily than most particles)
Lubricant
Nanotubes for conducting electricity
Enforcing plastics in sports equipment
Silver nanoparticles added in medical equipment for antibacterial uses

56
Q

Risks of nanoparticles

A

Their effect on the body aren’t fully understood e.g. some nanoparticles don’t break down easily
can cause problems e.g. lung inflammation if breathed in

57
Q

Transparent and strong
Can be moulded when hot
Brittle when thin
Usually made when limestone, sand and sodium carbonate are melted together

63
Q

A

Things made of one material (reinforcement) embedded in another (matrix/binder)
Properties depend on properties of the materials it is made from

64
Q

High density
Malleable
Can be mixed with other elements to form alloys

65
Q

A

Very adaptable (often flexible and be moulded into almost any shape)
Cheaper
Thermal and electrical insulators

66
Q

Degrade and break down over time (don’t last as long)

Hard to dispose of properly

67
Q

Advantages of ceramics as a material

A

Electric and heat insulator
Strong and hard-wearing
Don’t degrade over time so they last longer

68
Q

Disadvantages of ceramics as a material

A

Brittle and stiff

Dense

69
Q

Advantages of metals as a material

A

Good conductor of heat and electricity

70
Q

Disadvantages of metals as a material

A 
Some metals corrode easily 
Less brittle (likely to deform)
71
Q

Advantages of composites as a material

A

Can be made for specific purpose (properties purely rely on materials they are made from)
