CnH(2n)
1 of 30
How many bonds can each carbon atom make?
4
2 of 30
Why can you separate the components of crude oil using fractional distillation?
different length carbon chains have different boiling points
3 of 30
What is at the bottom on the fractioning column?
Residue
4 of 30
What is a use of kerosene?
Jet fuel
5 of 30
What is a use of mineral oil?
Lubricating oil
6 of 30
What does thermal cracking produce a lot of?
alkenes
7 of 30
What catalyst is used in catalytic cracking?
zeolite
8 of 30
what catalyst is used in a catalytic converter?
platinum/rhodium coated honeycomb
9 of 30
what does catalytic cracking mostly produce?
aromatic compounds+motor fuels
10 of 30
what is the problem with carbon monoxide?
binds to haemoglobin molecules in red blood cells so oxygen cannot be carried around the body
11 of 30
how are nitrous oxides produced?
high temperature and high pressure in car engines cause nitrogen and hydrogen in air to react
12 of 30
What harmless product is made as a result of flue gas desulphurisation?
calcium sulphite
13 of 30
Which gas leads to acid rain? (most commonly)
Sulphur dioxide
14 of 30
Which gases react in a catalytic converter to form less harmful products?
carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides
15 of 30
What are reactions started by ultraviolet light called?
photochemical reactions
16 of 30
what is a free radical?
a particle with an unpaired electron
17 of 30
what is the reaction called when free radicals are produced?
initiation reaction
18 of 30
what products would be formed if a chlorine radical attacks a methane molecule?
a hydrogen chloride molecule and a methyl radical
19 of 30
What is the main concern with CFCs?
They are destroying the ozone layer
20 of 30
Why do CFC's reach high into the atmosphere when chlorine gas doesn't?
They are unreactive
21 of 30
What is a alternative to CFC's with no chlorine?
HFC's- Hydrofluorocarbons
22 of 30
What is formed when halogenoalkanes react with hydroxides?
alcohols
23 of 30
What is formed when halogenoalkanes react with cyanide?
nitriles
24 of 30
What is formed when halogenoalkanes react with ammonia?
amines
25 of 30
What does 'under reflux' mean?
you increase the temperature of an organic reaction without losing volatile solvents, reactants or products
26 of 30
what reaction does aqueous conditions favour?
nucleophilic substitution
27 of 30
what reaction does anhydrous conditions favour?
nucleophilic elimination
28 of 30
what affects the difference in rate of reaction between fluoroalkanes and nucleophiles in comparison to iodoalkanes and nuclephiles?
the strength of the C-halogen bond
29 of 30
Bromoethane reacts with KOH in aqueous conditions to form CH2=CH2?
False
