t7-organic chemistry (2) Flashcards
alkene general formula
CnH2n
what is an alkene
unsaturated hydrocarbons
have at least one C=C double bond
formula for hydrogenation
alkene+hydrogen->alkane
conditions for hydrogenation
catalyst
formula for reaction with halogens and alkenes
alkene+halogen->halogenalkane
what is the functional group in alcohols
-OH
what is fermentation
an anaerobic process
glucose produces ethanol and carbon dioxide
role of yeast in fermentation
-provides the enzymes needed
-if the yeast cells become too cold, fermentation happens very slowly
-if the yeast cells become too hot, their enzymes become denatured and fermentation stops
conditions needed for fermentation
30-40 degrees
allow carbon dioxide, but prevent oxygen entering
formula for hydration
alkene + steam-> alcohol
ethene+ steam-> ethanol
conditions needed for hydration
very high temperatures
concentrated sulfuric acid catalyst
functionsl group for carboxylic acids
-COOH
ethanoic acid: CH3COOH
4 properties of carboxylic acids
-dissolve in water to form acidic solutions
-react with metal to form salt and hydrogen
-react with bases to form salt and water
-react with carbonates to form salt water and carbon dioxide
what are esters
organic compounds
functional group -COO-
property of esters
sweet fruity smell
