How do you make tertiary chloroalkanes? - ANS-Tertiary alcohol +
concentrated
... [Show More] HCl
How do you make bromoalkanes? - ANS-Alcohols + HBr or PBr3
What compound is used to oxidise alcohols? - ANS-Acidified potassium
dichromate (can be used to distinguish between types of alcohols)
What does a primary alcohol oxidise to? - ANS-first: aldehyde
second: carboxylic acid
What does a secondary alcohol oxidise to? - ANS-Ketone
Why do tertiary alcohols not oxidise? - ANS-There are no available
hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atom
How can you make alkenes from alcohols? - ANS-Dehydrate them with
concentrated phosphoric acid
Halogenoalkanes + water - ANS-Substitution reaction that forms alcohols,
needs to be carried out in presence of ethanol to dissolve halogenoalkane
Halogenoalkane + hydroxide ions - ANS-Substitution reaction that forms
alcohols (in presence of silver nitrate, silver halide precipitates form), can
heat to increase rate of reaction
Halogenoalkanes + cyanide ions - ANS-Substitution reaction that forms a
nitrile and increases carbon chain length; must heat under reflux
Halogenoalkanes + ammonia - ANS-Substitution reaction that forms
aminoalkanes and ammonium salts; must use excess ammonia in a
closed, heated container
How to make halogenoalkanes from alkanes? - ANS-(for chlorine and
bromine) heat/expose to UV light to create free radicals
Mass spectrometry - ANS-using lasers to ionise atoms into cations, then
measure the abundance and mass using their mass-to-charge ratios
Mass to charge ratio - ANS-the mass of an ion divided by its charge
(usually +1 in mass spectrometry)
units: m/z
relative atomic mass - ANS-the average mass of an atom of an element
relative to 1/12 of an atom of the isotope C-12
relative isotopic mass - ANS-the relative mass an atom of an isotope
relative to 1/12 of the mass of a C-12 atom
relative molecular mass - ANS-the relative mass of a molecule, differs due
to different isotopes of the atoms in the molecule
relative formula mass - ANS-the average mass the atoms within a unit,
used with large ionic compounds where there are more atoms than given
in the chemical formula
avogadros constant - ANS-the number of particles in 1 mole: 6.02 * 10^23
empirical formula - ANS-the simplest ratio of elements in a compoud
percentage composition - ANS-the percentage by mass of each element
in a compoun [Show Less]
