Q

+ and - of hydrogen

A

Advantages Disadvantages

Produced from
water; therefore, it is
renewable.
Requires large amounts
of electricity to produce
hydrogen from water by
electrolysis.
Water is the only
product of its
combustion so burning
hydrogen does not
contribute towards
global warming or acid
rain.
Storage requires bulky
and heavy pressurised
containers.
It ignites easily. Forms an explosive
mixture with air.

what is the fire triangle

A

for fire to burn and to continue to brn the must have all three side
oxygen
fuel
heat

17
Q

name the types of fire that oxygen are present in how can we remove this

A

oil fires
chip pan
electrical

we can remove by
fire blanket
co2 extinguisher

18
Q

name the types of fire that fuel is present in how can we remove this

A

forest fires
we can remove this by
fire break (the tree is the fuel)

19
Q

name the types of fire that heat is present in how can we remove this

A

house fire, wood fire,
paper fire

how can we remove this
water

20
Q

does the oxidation of an alcohol cause it to become

A

carboxylic acid=COOH
c==o
/
o—h

suffix is oic

21
Q

how many bonds does the oxygen in an alcohol make

A

2

22
Q

what is the general formula for and alcohol

A

CnH2n+1OH
name ends with ol

23
Q

structural formula for alcohol

A

o———h
bond

24
Q

what are the 2 methods of making alcohol

A

fermentation
addition reaction

25
Q

describe fermentation

A

raw material =sugar from sugar cane
reaction=
C6 H12 O6 (aq) ———–>2C2H5OH (aq)+2CO2(g)
the oporating pressure 1 atm
the type of process requires distillation to separate ethanol form other products has a yeas0
yeast catalyst

26
Q

advantages of frementation

A

cheap
carbon neutral
renewable

27
Q

disadvantages of fermentation

A

takes a very long time
requires further separation

28
Q

what happens when the carbon chains become longer

A

As the carbon chain length of a fraction increases:

the boiling point increases
the viscosity (thickness) increases
the ease of ignition decreases
the colour becomes darker (colourless → yellow → brown)
the cleanliness of burn decreases (more soot is given off by lower fractions).

29
Q

what do the intermolecular forces do to the molecule

A

intermolecular forces hold the hydrocarbon molecules together. As the hydrocarbon chains get longer, the intermolecular forces become stronger. This means that more energy is needed to overcome them in order for melting or boiling to occur in longer hydrocarbon chains
