Resource summary
industrial chemical synthesis C6 OCR
we depend daily on chemicals
chemical synthesis
is the process by which raw materials are made into useful products.
such as
food additives
colouring
flavouring
perservatives
Cleaning and decorating products
paints
dyes
pigments
bleach
oven clean
washing-up liqued
drugs - pharmaceutical
industry is huge
all these chemical industries are passed through many processes of testing and development
Also, figuring out how to make chemicals in a way that produce the highest yield
they do this by controlling the rate of reaction
Also, they think about the environment
Choosing the process with a low impact
Fertilisers
we use about million tones every years.
fertilisers contain loads of ammonia
the chemical industry is huge
Bulk chemicals
larger scale
sulfuric acid
ammonia
Fine chemicals
smaller scale
drugs
Pesticides
the range of chemicals made in industry and laboratories in the UK is illustrated in the pie chart:
pharmaceutical 37%
paint, varnishes and painting inks 8%
fertilisers 1%
Fibers 1%
Others 28%
Plastic and rubber 8%
Toiletries and cleaning products 12%
Dyes 2%
Agrochemicals 3%
in the UK there are over 200 000 people employed in the chemical industry.
some chemicals are sold directly to consumers, while others are sold to other industries as raw materials for other products
Acids
substances have a ph less than 7
pure acidic compounds can be solids
citric acid used in food additives
tartaric acid
liquids
sulfuric acid
nitric acid
ethanoic acid found in vinger
Gases
hydrogen chloride
Acidic compounds produce aqueous hydrogen ions, H+ (aq) in water.
Alkalis
substances have ph scale more than 7
Common alkalis include
Sodium hydroxide used in cleaning products
potassium hydroxide used in alkaline batteries
calcium hydroxide used to neutralise acidic soils
Alkaline compounds produce aqueous hydroxide ions, OH-, in water
The PH scale is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution, across a 14-point scale
