Organic Chem

Question 1

Catalytic Cracking

Answer 1

Zeolite Catalyst
550

Question 2

Steam crackin

Answer 2

> 800

Question 3

Complete combustion

Answer 3

Alcohol + Oxygen = CO2 +Water

Question 4

Incomplete combustion

Answer 4

Alcohol + Oxygen = CO +Water

Question 5

Ethanol + Sodium

Answer 5

Sodium Ethoxide + Hydrogen

Question 6

Oxidising alcohol (without combustion)

Answer 6

Alcohol + Oxygen = Carboxylic Acid (COOH)

Question 7

Addition Polymerisation needs

Answer 7

A double bond which breaks in order to produce a single bond to bond to the next monomer.

Question 8

Condensation polymerisation is used to

Answer 8

combine monomers that have multiple functional groups (usually also producing water as a by-product- hence condensation)

Question 9

How to make a polyester

Answer 9

Reacting an diol (alcohol w 2 functional groups) with a dicarboxylic acid (carboxylic acid w 2 functional groups), thus removing water molecules from either side many times, to make a link (‘many esters’)

Question 10

What functional groups do amino acids have

Answer 10

Amino group (NH2)
Carboxyl group (COOH)

Question 11

What can amino acids be polymerised into

Answer 11

Polypeptides/proteins

Question 12

What is DNA (made up of)

Answer 12

Two-stranded polymer made from 4 nucleotide monomers, which complement another in the group.

Question 13

Polymers of Glucose

Answer 13

Starch (α-glucose)
Cellulose (β-glucose)
