alcohols

?
what is the process used to produce alcohols from alkenes
hydration
1 of 16
what are the conditions for fermentation
low temperature and no oxygen
2 of 16
what is biofuel
fuel derived from organic matter
3 of 16
what is a carbon neutral fuel
a fuel that gives out carbon dioxide but also takes it back in
4 of 16
what is the mechanism used for the reaction ethene with steam
the double bond attacks the ionised H+,carbocation is formed,the lone pairs of electrons on the water molecule attacks the carbocation,bond with hydrogen is broken and electrons move to the oxygen atom
5 of 16
what are primary alcohols oxidised into
aldehydes
6 of 16
what are primary alcohols further oxidised into
carboxylic acids
7 of 16
what are secondary alcohols oxidised into
ketones
8 of 16
can tertiary alcohols be oxidised
not very easily
9 of 16
what is the oxidising agent that is used
potassium dichromate
10 of 16
to make an aldehyde what is needed
less sulphuric acid and less O
11 of 16
to make a carboxylic acid what is needed
concentrated sulphuric acid and more O
12 of 16
what are the two chemical tests for aldehydes
Tollens reagent/ silver mirror test and fehlings reagent
13 of 16
true or false ketones can be oxidised
false
14 of 16
what happens in the silver mirror test
Ag+ is reduced to Ag
15 of 16
what happens when fehlings reagent is used
it goes from blue to brick red
