A homologous series where one hydrogen atom is replaced by an OH group.
A heterologous series where one hydrogen atom is replaced by an OH group.
Question 2
Question
What is the definition of 'homologous series'?
Answer
A group of chemicals with similar properties that can be represented by a general formula.
A group of chemicals that have the exact same properties and formula.
Question 3
Question
Which of these are characteristics of a homologous series?
Answer
The members of the homologous series have the same functional group
The members of the homologous series always contain ethene.
The members of the homologous series share a specific formula.
The members of the homologous series share a general formula.
The members of the homologous series have a common general method of preparation.
The members of the homologous group all have low melting points.
The members of the homologous group have similar chemical properties.
Question 4
Question
There are [blank_start]two[blank_end] main processes involved in the [blank_start]industrial[blank_end] preparation of ethanol. [blank_start]Hydration[blank_end] of ethene involves [blank_start]cracking[blank_end] hydrocarbons produced from [blank_start]petroleum.[blank_end] Ethene then reacts with [blank_start]steam[blank_end] to produce ethanol. Another method is called [blank_start]Fermentation[blank_end] which involves [blank_start]sugars[blank_end] being converted into ethanol.
Answer
two
industrial
Hydration
cracking
petroleum.
steam
Fermentation
sugars
Question 5
Question
The reaction between an alcohol and a [blank_start]carboxylic acid[blank_end] gives an [blank_start]ester[blank_end]
Answer
carboxylic acid
ester
Question 6
Question
The ideal conditions for hydration of ethene is a temperature of [blank_start]300[blank_end] and pressure of [blank_start]60-70[blank_end] atmospheres.
Answer
300
200
420
137
60-70
70-80
30-40
90-100
Question 7
Question
With regards to temperature to complete hydration of ethene, which statement is true?
Answer
A higher yield of ethanol would be produced at lower temperatures
A higher yield of ethanol would be produced at higher temperatures
The temperature has no effect on the yield of ethanol produced
Question 8
Question
[blank_start]High[blank_end] pressure leads to a high yield of ethanol.
Answer
High
Question 9
Question
Which of these is missing from the end of this formula representing hydration of ethene? CH2 = CH2(g) + H2O(g) <>
Answer
CH2CH2OH(g)
CH3CH2OH(g)
CH4CHOH(g)
Question 10
Question
Which of these better depicts the definition of a functional group?
Answer
specific groupings of atoms within molecules that have their own characteristic properties, regardless of the other atoms present in a molecule.
specific groupings of atoms within molecules that have their own characteristic properties, based of the number of carbons present
The boiling temperature of ethanol is [blank_start]80[blank_end] degrees and therefore to separate it from an aqueous mixture, [blank_start]fractional distillation[blank_end] is needed.
