Frage Antworten
Name the products of the reaction of 1-chlorobutane with excess ammonia. butylamine (or 1-aminobutane) ammonium chloride
Which of 1-chlorobutane and 1-iodobutane is more reactive and why? 1-iodobutane. C-I bond enthalpy is much lower than C-Cl bond enthalpy
Name the position isomer of butan-1-ol which does not react with acidified potassium dichromate. methylpropan-2-ol
In two separate containers, I add sodium hydroxide to ethanolic (i) 1-bromopentane and (ii) 2-bromo-2-methylbutane. In both cases water is produced. Which of these will give a greater yield of water and why? 2-bromo-2-methylbutane - it is a tertiary alcohol so will readily undergo elimination. 1-bromopentane, a primary alcohol, will prefer nucleophilic substitution.
Name the mechanism by which haloalkanes are formed from alkenes. Electrophilic addition
Name the mechanism by which haloalkanes are formed from alkanes. Free radical substitution
Give an equation for the fermentation of glucose. Explain why this reaction must take place in anaerobic conditions. C6H12O6 => 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 In aerobic conditions, aerobic respiration will take place/glucose will be completely broken down (by yeast)
How many structurally isomeric alkenes could be formed from the reaction of potassium hydroxide with a compound whose molecular formula is C5H11Cl? Which of these exhibit geometric isomerism? 4 (pent-1-ene, pent-2-ene, methylbut-1-ene, methylbut-2-ene) Only pent-2-ene exhibits geometric isomerism.
Name the mechanism by which ethene is industrially converted into ethanol. What type of reaction is this? Electrophilic addition Hydration
Propene may be converted into poly(propene). What type of reaction is this? Addition polymerisation
Name the two possible products of the reaction of hydrogen chloride with but-1-ene. Which of these is formed in greater abundance and why? 1-chlorobutane, 2-chlorobutane. 2-chlorobutane as the secondary carbocation intermediate is more stable than the primary carbocation intermediate.
State fully the observation you would make when propanal is added to potassium dichromate(VI) and sulphuric acid. Solution turns from orange to green
Name the mechanism by which ethanol is converted into ethene. Describe the conditions and explain the industrial significance of this reaction. Elimination Hot excess sulfuric acid, molten aluminium chloride catalyst, high temperature (600K) Ethene is needed for making plastics. If it can be obtained from bioethanol this provides a renewable alternative to crude oil.
Suggest an ethical issue of the production of bioethanol. Sugar beet/cane usually grown in poor countries. Land could be used for growing food - exacerbates hunger problems
Give four necessary conditions for the fermentation of glucose. Aqueous; anaerobic; presence of yeast/zymase; temperature around 37 degrees C/body temperature
Name the organic product of the reaction of potassium cyanide with 1-bromomethylpropane. 3-methylbutanenitrile
Give an equation for the first step of the reaction of bromine with ethane. Name this type of step and state an essential condition for it to occur. Br2 => 2Br. Initiation UV light
Give two equations for the second step of the reaction of bromine with ethane. Name this type of step. Br. + C2H6 => .C2H5 + HBr .C2H5 + Br2 => C2H5Br + Br. Propagation
Give three equations for the termination step of the reaction of bromine with ethane. 2Br. => Br2 2.C2H5 => C4H10 Br. + C2H5. => C2H5Br
Outline a mechanism for the reaction between sodium hydroxide and bromoethane in warm, aqeuous conditions.
Outline a mechanism for the reaction between chloroethane and concentrated ammonia.
Outline a mechanism for the reaction of sulphuric acid with ethene.
Outline a mechanism for the reaction of 1-chloropropane with hot, concentrated, ethanolic sodium hydroxide.
Name the mechanism by which 2-chlorobutane is converted into propan-2-ol. What is the role of the hydroxide anion in this reaction? Nucleophilic substitution Nucleophile
Name the mechanism by which 2-chlorobutane may be converted into an alkene. Name the three isomeric products. What is the role of the hydroxide anion in this reaction? Elimination but-1-ene, E-but-2-ene, Z-but-2-ene Base
