Q

Describe the process of fractional distilation.

A

1)Heat to vapourise crude oil
2)Temp gradient (gets cooler as you go up).
3)Gas rises up the column
3)Long=high boiling points= condence earlyer near bottem.
4)Shorter=lower boiling points=condense later on near top
5)End up with mixture seperted into diff fractions each fraction= simmilar carbon atoms+boiling points

the gases condense at thei boiling points

lable the length of the hydrocarbon and the product
26
What are the uses of crude oil?
* **Fuel** for transport * **Petrochemical** industry for **feedstock** to make new compounds e.g polymeers, solvents, lubricants and detergants => Example of orgainc compounds each wich diff homologous sereies
27
What is cracking and why is it useful?
-long chain= fuel short chain=tar not so useful -Cracking-Turing long chain hydrocarbons into useful short chain hydrocarbons, a **thermal decompostion rection**, braking down molecule via heating
28
What are the conditions for steam and catalytic craking?
**Catalytic cracking:** -Heat long chain to** vapourise** the -pass over hot powdered **Aluminium oxide**, a **catalyst.** -long chain is then split apart on surface of Catalyst **Steam cracking:** -Add steam and heat to **vaporise** hydorcarbon -Add steam and heat
29
What is genral formular for alkenes are they saturated or unsaturated?
-C=C double bond=>unsaturated -it can open to make single bond=more rective than alkAnes
30
How do Alkens combust and why?
-in little oxygen in air= incomplete combustion -Smokey yellow flame+less energy.
31
What is addition polymerisation?
Alkens used to make polymers **Many small molecules (monomers) join to form large molecules (polymers)**
32
What is Hydrogention?
-Hydrogen reats with alken to open double bond
33
34
Ethene + chlorine->
-Addtion reaction Alkene+ halogen-> Haloalkane | **Di- chloro**-> two chlorine atoms have been addde to molecule
35
What makes a plactics and what is this rection called
-**Plactics** (carbon baised) are made up of long-chain molecule called **polymers** made of lots of small chain **monomers**-**Polymerisation**=monomer=>polymer using high presure+catalyst
36
What is an addition polymer made up of?
-repeating monomer chains -Same atoms as the reactant as nothing else is added
37
What is the functional group for carboxylic acids?
-COOH
37
Draw the display formular for Poly(chloronethen)
37
What is the general formular for carbocylic acids?
CnH2n+1COOH
37
What is a homolgous series?
-Group of organic compunds wich recact in a similar way as they have same functional group -Example: AlkAnes, AlkEnes, Carboxylic acids, Alchols ect
37
Name the first 4 alchols with formulars
37
What are the properties of Alcohols?
-Dissolve in water to form a neutral solution -React with sodium to produce hydrogen -Burn in air to produce CO2 and H2O
37
what are the uses of Alcohols?
-Solvent industry as dissolve things water can't dissolve e.g. parfumes -Fuel -Drinks
38
How can ethanol be made? Describe the process.
**Fermentation**: -Fementation: Sugar(glucose)=>ethanol -glucose form plant material -CO2= by-product -Enzymes in yeast= natural catalyst | Ethanol produced is Aq
38
# [](http://) Name the first 4 carbocylic with the formular.

48
Are Carboxylic acid weak or strong, if so why?
* H+ make strong acidic soltion * Carboxylic acids are **weak** * They don't ionise completly when dissoved in water = lower conc of H+ => higer PH * Aqueous soltions of weak acids have a higher PH value than Aqueous soltions of strong acid with the same conc

Two diffrent functional groups | Has COOH and amine -NH2 functional groups
50
What happens when amino acids react by condensation polymerisation?
Produce **Polypeptides** via condensation polymeriastion of amion acids -shorter than protien | protiens= many polypeptides chains bonded together
51
Wha happens when diff amino acid are combined?
Protein produced
52
What is the function of DNA?
-Large molecule essential for life -Encodedes genetic instructions for development and function of living organisms
53
Describe the structure of DNA
- Two polmer chains made from **4 monomers called Nucleotides** - Two polymer chains form **double helix**
54
What would the ball and stick modle look like for : Ethene Propen Buten
55
How do amino acids make protiens?
By numerous condensation ploymersation reactions | protien made of amino acid monomers
56
# [](http://) How do esters smell?
Fruity!!!
57
# [](http://) Oxidation of alchols leads to ..............?
Carboxylic acid
58
# [](http://) Descibe the addition reaction of alkenes
C=C => C-C - hydrogen-hydrogenation: higher temp + nickel catalyst -Steam- hydrogenation : high temp, preasure concentrated phosphoric acid H3PO4 catalyst -Br/Cl/I- addtion for halogens | Whithhydrogen, wter or halogen adding atoms turn; c=c=> c-c
