1 of 32
What is a chain isomer?
Same functional group, different arrangement of carbon atoms
2 of 32
What is a position isomer?
Functional group attached to different carbons in the chain
3 of 32
What is a functional group isomer?
Atoms arranged into different functional groups
4 of 32
What is a Z isomer?
Atoms/groups in the same plane
5 of 32
What is an E isomer?
Atoms/groups in different planes
6 of 32
What is a stereoisomer?
Same structural formula, atoms arranged in different spaces
7 of 32
Why are alkanes described as saturated?
Only have carbon and hydrogen, no double bonds
8 of 32
What is cracking?
Breaking long chain alkanes into smaller alkanes and alkenes
9 of 32
What type of catalysts are used in cracking?
Zeolites (hydrated aluminosilicate)
10 of 32
Describe one method for removing sulphur dioxide from flue gas?
Powdered calcium carbonate and wate rto neutralise
11 of 32
How are chlorine free radicals formed in the upper atmosphere?
UV light causes the bonds to break
12 of 32
What is a neucleophile?
An electron pair donor
13 of 32
What happens in a neucleophilic substitution reaction?
Haloalkane and neucleophile, attacks central carbon, new boned formed
14 of 32
What conditions are needed in the bromoethane and ammonia reaction?
Warmed in a sealed tube
15 of 32
What is an electrophile?
Electron pair acceptors
16 of 32
What does bromine water test for?
Differentiate between alkanes and alkenes
17 of 32
Which carbocation is the most stable?
Tertiary
18 of 32
Briefly describe addition polymerisation.
The double bonds in alkenes open up and join together. Form long chains called polymers
19 of 32
Why are poly(alkenes) unreactive?
They have lost their C=C double bond, carbon chain is non-polar
20 of 32
What are the inermolecular forces between polymer chains and poly(chloroethene)?
Cl-C bonds are polar, the Cl and C atoms of different chains have permanent dipole forces
21 of 32
Two uses of rigid poly(chloroethene).
Window frames, drain pipes
22 of 32
Two uses of flexible poly(chloroethene).
Clothing, electric cable insulation
23 of 32
What is the equation for fermentation?
C6H12O6------>2C2H5OH + 2CO2
24 of 32
What two substances can be used to oxidise alcohols?
Potassium manganate and potassium dichromate
25 of 32
What does a primary alcohol oxidise to?
An aldehyde then a carboxylic acid
26 of 32
What does a secondary alcohol oxidise to?
A keytone
27 of 32
What does a tertiary alcohol oxidise to?
Nothing, it doesn't oxidise
28 of 32
How could you distinguish between an aldehyde and a keytone?
Fehlings solution or Tollens' reagent
29 of 32
What colour forms when Fehilings solution is mixed with an aldehyde?
Silver mirror
30 of 32
How do you make Tollens' reagent?
2cm^2 of 0.1mol of silver nitrate, a few drops of sodium hydroxide, dilute ammonia.
