4Elimination of water from an Alcohol is also known as [blank_start]a Dehydration[blank_end] Reaction. It allows the creation of [blank_start]Alkenes[blank_end] from a renewable source. Water is the other product.
The industrial method heats [blank_start]Ethanol[blank_end] with concentrated [blank_start]Sulfuric[blank_end] Acid which acts as a catalyst. The resulting mixture contains the products, reactants and the acid. To separate the mixture, [blank_start]a Distillation[blank_end] Reaction is required which relies on the differences in boiling points. However, some impurities will still be present, so a separating funnel is required. Water is added to dissolve the water-soluble impurities and then the mixture is allowed to separate out into layers. The bottom layer is filtered out and purified using anhydrous [blank_start]Calcium Chloride[blank_end]. The resulting mixture is [blank_start]distilled[blank_end] again to get the required product.- Aa Dehydration

8Fermentation produces a mixture containing 15% Ethanol which needs to be distilled to concentrate it so that it can be of any use as a fuel. Water boils at 100C and Ethanol at 78.4C. So it all seems relatively easy. HOWEVER, Ethanol and Water form a mixture called an [blank_start]Azeotrope[blank_end] which boils at 78.1C and contains 95.6% Ethanol and 4.4% Water. Distillation alone can't make Ethanol any more concentrated. The [blank_start]Azeotrope[blank_end] must be [blank_start]dehydrated[blank_end] to remove the water content before it is mixed with petrol.

9What are the benefits of Fermentation as a method of producing Ethanol?
- AThe Atom Economy is high
- BIt does not use up Crude Oil but uses Renewable materials so it's Carbon Neutral
- CIt's a fast process
- DIt costs less than a continual process
- EIt's carried out at a lower temperature and pressure than Hydration of Steam
10What are the disadvantages of Fermentation as a method of producing Ethanol?
- AIt's a slow reaction
- BThe yield is low
- CIt has to be done in batches - not a continuous process
- DIt's highly exothermic
11What are the benefits of Hydration of Ethene as a method of producing Ethanol?
- AIt's fast
- BIt has a high yield
- CThe Atom Economy is 100% because it's an Addition Reaction
- DIt's a continuous process
12What are the disadvantages of Hydration of Ethene as a method of producing Ethanol?
- AIt uses up Crude Oil
- BIt's more expensive to carry out than Fermentation
- CThere are no disadvantages - it's all good, good and more good!
- DIt produces a lot of Greenhouse Gases
13Name this Alcohol.

- A2-methyl-propan-2-ol
- B2,2-dimethyl-ethan-2-ol

14Aldehydes have [blank_start]one Hydrogen and one Alkyl group[blank_end] attached to the carbonyl carbon atom. The functional group is C=O and the suffix is [blank_start]-al[blank_end].
Ketones have [blank_start]two Alkyl groups[blank_end] attached to the carbonyl carbon atom. The functional group is C=O and the suffix is [blank_start]-one[blank_end].
Carboxylic Acids have [blank_start]a COOH group[blank_end] attached to the end of the carbon chain. The suffix is [blank_start]-oic[blank_end] acid.- Aone Hydrogen and one Alkyl group
- B-al
- Ctwo Alkyl groups
- D-one
- Ea COOH group
- F-oic
15[blank_start]Primary[blank_end] Alcohols are oxidised to [blank_start]Aldehydes[blank_end] and then to [blank_start]Carboxylic Acids[blank_end].
[blank_start]Secondary[blank_end] Alcohols are oxidised to [blank_start]Ketones[blank_end] only.
[blank_start]Tertiary[blank_end] Alcohols cannot be oxidised at all except by combustion.- APrimary
