Frage Antworten
what are the oxidising agents used with ketones and aldehydes? H2SO4 and K2Cr2O7
what is the observation when a reactant is reduced? Turns from orange to green
what happens to primary alcohols during a) partial oxidation b) full oxidation partial oxidation= aldehyde full oxidation= carboxylic acid
what conditions are needed to obtain aldehyde form primary alcohol? warm and immediate distilling
what conditions are needed to obtain carboxylic acid? Reflux and excess oxidising agent (acidified potassium dichromate)
what happens to secondary alcohols during oxidation? become ketones
what conditions are needed during oxidation of secondary alcohols? Heat
why can tertiary alcohols not be oxidised? It is very difficult to oxidise as a C-C bond would need to be broken for the loss of a hydrogen bond to be broken
what simple tests can be used to distinguish between an aldehyde and a ketone? Fehlighs solution tollens reagent
what does a positive fehlings solution test show? Aldehyde present- shown by change in colour from blue solution to brick red precipitate
what does a positive Tollen's reagent test show? aldehyde is present- forms a silver mirror (silver ions are reduced to silver metal) Ketones- no visible change
what is reduction? the gain of hydrogen
what is the reducing agent for reduction? NaBH4
what are aldehydes reduced to? primary alcohol
what are ketones reduced to? secondary alcohol
what is the mechanism of reduction between propane and NaBH4? Nucloephilic addition reaction
what is the mechanism of the reaction with HCN?
what are the reagents used for the reaction with HCN? H2SO4 and NaCN
what are the uses of esters? Food flavourings solvents plasticisers
what to carboxylic acids react with to form an ester? alcohols in the presence of a strong acid catalyst
what is the reaction between carboxylic acid and alcohol?
what are the characteristics of the esterification reaction? the reaction is an equilibrium the reaction is slow (even though there is a catalyst)
what is ester hydrolysis? the breaking down of an ester- producing a carboxylic acid and an alcohol
what is produced when ester hydrolysis is carried out in the presence of an alkali? What is the reaction called? carboxylic salt reaction= saponification
what the reaction of saponification?
what is the other name for glycerol? propane 1,2,3- triol
how is soap made? fats/oils are hydrolysed by boiling with an alkali (NaOH) = a salt (soap) and glycerol
how is biodiesel made? made by heating vegetable oils with methanol and sodium hydroxide
what happens during the reaction of biodiesel? the vegetable oil is hydrolysed by the sodium hydroxide = fatty acid salt.
what is the fatty acid salt converted into with the reaction of biodiesel? the salt is converted into the methyl ester by the reaction of methanol.
what are the advantages of using ethanoic anhydride when manufacturing aspirin? less corrosive - does not produce HCl less susceptible to hydrolysis cheaper - not as many safety precautions
what are the problems with using carboxylic acids to make esters? low yield- reversible slow- needs a catalyst
