Alcohols What are the two ways ethanol can be made? |
-Hydration of ethene -Fermentation of sugars |
|
Alcohols Draw the hydration of ethene. Include catalysts. |
(steam) |
|
Alcohols Describe the conversion rate of the hydration of ethene. |
The reaction is reversible so the conversion of ethene is incomplete - only 5% of the ethene is converted into ethanol. Any unreacted gas is recycled and passed through the reactor again. Overall a 95% conversion rate is achieved. |
|
Alcohols What is done in fermentation? |
Carbohydrates (sugar or starch) are converted into ethanol and CO2. |
|
Alcohols Draw the fermentation of glucose. Include conditions |
37 degrees. |
|
Alcohols Explain why a temp of 37 is used. |
Below 25 = reaction too slow Above 37 = enzyme used to catalyse the reaction is denatured and loses its efficiency |
|
Alcohols Explain the conversion of this fermentation |
Ethanol solution produced in this way has a concentration of up to 14% alcohol by volume. The toxicity of the alcohol limits the concentration of the ethanol that can be made by fermentation. This is because the enzyme ceases to function above an alcohol concentration of 14%. |
|
Alcohols Why is it important that fermentation is carried out in the absence of air? |
It is anaerobic.
Prevents the oxidation of ethanol to undesirable compounds such as ethanal or ethanoic acid which would affect the flavour. |
|
Alcohols What are the uses of ethanol alcohols? |
- Alcoholic drinks, perfumes, aftershaves, cleaning fluids, methylated spirits (solvents for removing paint or ink stains, fuel in spirit burners, camping stoves) -Blended with petroleum to increase octane ratings of fuels -Methanol is used as a clean-burning fuel - use as an additive in high-performance racing cars. |

Their ability to form hydrogen bonds between OH groups of neighbouring molecules. |
|
Alcohols Draw the formation of hydrogen bonds between molecules of ethanol. |
|
|
Alcohols Define volatility |
The ease at which a liquid turns into a gas. Volatility increases as boiling point decreases, |
|
Alcohols Describe the volatility of alcohols |
The presence of hydrogen bonds means alcohols have a higher boiling point and thus lower volatility than alkanes |
|
Alcohols Describe the solubility of alcohols |
Alcohols dissolve in water because hydrogen bonds form between the polar OH groups of the alcohol and water molecules |
|
Alcohols What happens to solubility as chain length increases? |
Solubility decreases because a larger part of the alcohol molecule is made up of a non-polar hydrocarbon chain which does not form hydrogen bonds with water. |
|

|

|
Halogenoalkanes How are halogenoalkanes polar? |
The difference in electronegativities of the carbon and halogen bond. Halogen is more electronegative so the bonded electron pair is attracted more closely to the halogen atom, forming a polar bond. |

|
Halogenoalkanes Define nucleophillic substitution |
A type of substitution reaction in which a nucleophile is attracted to an electron deficient centre or atom, where is donates a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond. |
|
Halogenoalkanes Describe what happens in the nucleophilic substitution reactions of Halogenoalkanes |
1) The OH- ion has a lone pair of electrons. This is attracted and donated to the electron deficient carbon atom in the halogenoalkane. This is nucleophillic attack. 2) The donation of the elctron pair leads to the formation of a new covalent bond between the oxygen atom of the Oh- ion and the C atom. 3) The C-Halogen bond breaks by heterolytic fission, with both electrons going to the halogen atom, forming a halide ion. |
|
Halogenoalkanes How can you measure the rate of hydrolysis of primary Halogenoalkanes ? |
-Heat the Halogenoalkane with aq silver nitrate with ethanol. - water acts as the nucleophile and ethanol is the solvent - The aq AgNO3 reacts with any halide ions present, forming a ppt of the silver halide - rate = 1/time taken for ppt to form |

|
Halogenoalkanes What were the problems with CFCs? |
They are only stable until they reach the stratosphere where they break down in the presence of uv light to form chlorine radicals which are thought to catalyse the breakdown of the ozone layer. The depletion of the ozone layer means it cannot absorb the uv light from the sun, leaving it to reach the lower atmosphere, increasing the prevalence of skin cancer, |

% Yield = Amount of product, mol / theoretical amount of product, mol x100 |
|
Halogenoalkanes Why might you not get 100% yield? |
-Reaction may be at equilibrium or not to completion -by-products may be formed -reactants may not be pure -some reactants/products left in equipment -separation and purification may lead to loss of product |
