22
Q

If a hydrocarbon has only single covalent bonds, what is it called?

23
Q

What are alkanes described as?

A

Saturated hydrocarbons

24
Q

What are alkanes described as?

25
Is a hydrocarbon has one or more double Carbon-Carbon (C=C)covalent bonds, what is it known as?
Alkene
26
What do alkanes do to bromine water?
No effect
27
What do alkenes do to bromine water?
Decolourise it
28
What conditions does joining alkenes to form a polymer need?
High pressure | Catalyst
29
Nylon is:
Lightweight Tough Waterproof Blocks UV light
30
What is done to nylon to make it into Goretex?
Nylon fibres are coated with a membrane of PTFE
31
What does Goretex have?
Much smaller holes in the fabric.
32
What happens to protein when it is heated?
Molecules change shape. (Denature)
33
What happens when potatoes and other vegetables are heated?
1. Cell wall breaks down, cells become soft. 2. Starch grains swell up and are released. 3. This makes them easily digestible.
34
What happens when sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking powder) is heated?
It decomposes to release Carbon dioxide.
35
What is the equation of baking powder being heated?
Sodium hydrogen carbonate --> sodium carbonate + water + Carbon dioxide.
36
If Carbon dioxide is present, what happens to limewater?
It changes form colourless to milky.
37
What are 4 additives?
Antioxidants Food colours Flavour enhancers Emulsifiers
38
What is the hydrophilic end of an emulsifier?
The end that likes water.
39
What is the hydrophobic end of an emulsifer?
The end that likes oil.
40
What are the properties of perfume?
``` Da orate easily Not toxic Not irritant Non dissolvable in water Non reactive with water ```
41
What are soluble substances?
A substance that dissolves in a liquid.
42
What is an insoluble substance?
A substance that don't dissolve in a liquid.
43
What is a solvent?
A liquid which a substance is dissolved.
44
What is a solute?
A substance that gets dissolved.
45
What is a solution?
What is produced when a solvent and solute is mixed.
46
What is paint?
A collide.
47
What is a binding medium?
An Oil that sticks the pigment to the surface.
48
How does oil based paints dry?
1. Solvent evaporates away. | 2. The oil-binding medium reacts with oxygen in the air (oxidation reaction) to form a hard layer.
