17
Q

What is structural isomerism?

A

Same molecular formula, but different structural formula

18
Q

What is positional isomerism?

A

The functional group is at a different point

19
Q

What is chain isomerism?

A

Different chain, name (prop->but)

20
Q

Define “Homologous series”

A

It is a family of organic compounds with the same functional group but different carbon chain length.

21
Q

What are the general features of an homologous series of compounds?

A
  • Gradual change in physical properties
  • chemically similar
  • same functional group
  • same general formula
  • differ by CH2
22
Q

What is meant by the term “saturated” when applies to hydrocarbons?

A

It only contains single bonds

23
Q

What catalysts can be used in a catalytic converter?

A

Platinum, palladium or rhodium

24
Q

What are isomers?

A

Molecules that have the same molecular formula but whose atoms are arranged differently.

25
Q

What are the three types of structural isomerism?

A

Positional isomerism, functional group isomerism and chain isomerism.

26
Q

What is positional isomerism?

A

The functional group is attached to the main chain at different points.

27
Q

What is functional group isomerism?

A

The functional group is different, ex: CH3-O-CH3 and butan-1ol

28
Q

What is chain isomerism?

A

It is when the hydrocarbon cahin is arranged differently.

29
Q

What type of catalyst is used for catalytic cracking?

A

A zeolite catalyst made of silixon dioxide and aluminium oxide

30
Q

How can we remove sulfur?

A

With CaO or CaCO3 that create CaSO4

31
Q

What does sulfur do?

A

SO2+H2O->H2SO3 + 1/2O2->H2SO4
