Name one saturated hydrocarbon
Ethane
Name the polymer of ethene
Polyethene
What are hydrocarbon
Compounds containing hydrogen and carbon
Name one unsaturated hydrocarbon
Ethane
What’s an Alkanes
They are saturated hydrocarbon containing only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms
Why is it that ethene can take part in addition reaction than Ethan
Because of double bond of alkenes allow it in addition reaction
What’s the product formed when bromine and ethene combine
Form dibromoethene
What’s bromination
Bromine reacts with ethene produce dibromoethene
Name some additional reaction
Hydrogenation
Hydration
Chlorination
What are monomers
Smaller molecules
Name one hydrocarbon can be coveted to a polymer
Ethene
What term is used to describe a reaction of glucose changed to ethanol
Fermentation
What’s fermentation
It’s a process used in production of ethanol from sugar by the action of yeast or bacteria on it
What’s the purpose of yeast in the fermentation process
Act as a catalyst
Which homologous series does ethanol belong to
Alkanols or alcohols
Why does ethanol become sour when exposed to the air
Oxidation occurs which leads formation of an acid or carboxylic acid which has a sour taste
What product is produced when ethanol is dehydrated
It produces ethene
What’s dehydration
The removal of water from a compound
Ethene plus steam gives
Ethanol
What process used to separate the fraction of crude oil
Fraction distillation
What major elements are found in crude oil
Hydrogen
Carbon
What does non renewable energy source mean
Source is one that is limited supply and can not be replaced once used
Why is the sun better source of energy than crude oil
It is inexhaustible
Solar energy can be clean process while crude oil causes pollution
What reaction occurs in petroleum industry
Catalytic cracking
