A

4 H2O + 3 CO2

steam

17
Q

incomplete combustion of alkanes

eg. C2H6 + O2 =

A

3 H2O + CO

steam

18
Q

what is the formula of ethanol

A

C2H5OH

19
Q

how do you make ethanol using fermentation

A

fermentation -

C6H12O6 = 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2

  • 30 °C
  • 1 atm.
  • slow
  • releases CO2
  • low energy input -> cheap
  • renewable (sugar cane)
20
Q

how do you make ethanol using hydration

A

hydration of ethene -

C2H4 + H2O = C2H5OH

  • phosphoric acid
  • 300 °C
  • 65 atm.
  • pure ethanol
  • fast
  • high energy input -> expensive
  • non renewable (ethene from crude oil)
21
Q

define the homologous series

A

a series of compounds that share the same general formula, same chemical properties, and same trends and physical properties.

22
Q

what colour does red litmus paper go

A

acid - red
neutral - red
alkali - blue

23
Q

what colour does blue litmus paper go

25
Q

what colour does methyl orange go

A

acid - red
neutral - yellow
alkali - yellow

26
Q

what is the equation for hydroxide in electrolysis

4 OH- = 2 H2O + O2 + 4 e-

27
Q

what is a really common catalyst

A

yellow (AgI)

32
Q

What is the test for the presence of water?

A
  1. Add colbalt chloride paper
    blue —> pink
  2. Add copper sulphate
    white —> blue
33
Q

What is the test for the purity of water?

A
  • melting point is 0°C

- boiling point is 100°C

34
Q

What is the test for chlorine?

A

How do you test for irons and copper?

A

Add NaOH
Colour change —> green (iron II hydroxide)
brown (iron III hydroxide)
blue (copper hydroxide)

38
Q

What are the flame tests?

A

Dip nichrome wire into sample and place in fire
If flame colour —> red (Li +) / (Sr 2+)
yellow (Na +)
lilac (K +)
brick red (Ca 2+)
green (Ba 2+)
