What is a cationic surfactant? What can they be used for?
quaternary ammonium ion head is soluble whilst hydrocarbon tail isnt. used in hair products as +vecharged part attracted to -ve on surface so coats it preventing build up of static

Why are ammonia and derivatives of it bronsted-lowry bases? Which is the strongest base and why?
lone pair on N donated to H+ forming dative covalent bond. weakest=aromatic as electron denisty pulled drawn into delocalised ring so lone pair less avalible. then ammonia. stongest=amine as alkly group pushes electrons onto N so electron denisty

What 2 ways can amined be formed? what are their conditions
1-from haloalkanes with excess ammonia and heat 2-from nitriles (either by catalytic hydrogenation- nickle catalyst high t and p or using strong reducing agent-LiAlH and dilute acid)
3 of 10
Draw and name the mechanism for the formation of amines from halolkanes

How are aromatic amines formed?
reduction of nitrobenzene by refluxing with tin and conc.HCL and then adding NaOH

Write 2 equations to show why amio acids are amphoteric
act as acid= -COOH --> -COO + H+ act as base= -NH + H+ --> -NH +
6 of 10
Draw an amino acid as a) a zwitterion b) at low pH and c) at high pH

What method is used to seperate and identify amino acids from a mixture?
chromatography. amino acids move up paper with solvent but at different rates, colour with ninhydrin to see spots and idenitfy
8 of 10
What is an addition polymer? What is a condensation polymer?
1-double bond on alkene breaks and they join together 2- two types of monomers with at least 2 functional grups each join together by removal of water molecule
9 of 10
What are the 3 examples of condesation polymers used in real life that you need to know?
polyamides: 1-Nylon 6,6=1,6-diaminohexane + hexandioic acid 2-Kevlar=benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid + benzene-1,4-diamine polyester: 3-Terylene=benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid + ethane-1,2-diol
