the monomers are unsaturated molecules that add together to form polymer molecules

the polymers are named after their momomer that forms, so would be names polybutene

the polymers are types of alkanes and are therefore . this means they are quite unreactive and so it is difficult for them to decompose or in the environment

the persistence of plastics is a problem as it fills up sites and can cause problems for wildlife

A

polymers are long chain molecules that form lots of small alkenes called monomers

the monomers are unsaturated reactive molecules that add together to form polymer molecules

the polymers are named after their momomer that forms, so butene would be names polybutene

the polymers are types of alkanes and are therefore saturated. this means they are quite unreactive and so it is difficult for them to decompose or biodegrade in the environment

the persistence of plastics is a problem as it fills up landfill sites and can cause problems for wildlife

Q

Biodiesel is a fuel made by the chemical reaction of alcohol with vegetable oils such as soya bean oil. This process also produces glycerine which used in soap making. Biodiesel can be used in engines which normally would run on petroleum diesel. Biodiesel can be mixed with petroleum diesel in any proportions. Biodiesel is biodegradable and contains very little sufur. The complete combustion of smoke-type emissions that petroleum diesel. Some of the diadvanatges of biodiesel include attacking the engine hoses that were intended for a different fuel and loosening deposits wihin the engine left from previous fuels which can cause blockages.

From the given information, it is possible to conclude that biodiesel will contribute to…

A. a decrease in acid rain formtaion

B. An increase in fog formation

C. A decrease in soap production

D. A reduction in global warming

Q

Crude oil consists of a large number of different compounds. Explain how fractional distillation is used to produce useful compounds from crude oil. (3 marks)

A

Crude oil evaporated in a fractioning tower

Different hydrocarbons in the crude oil have different boiling points

Their vapour condenses at different temperatures in the tower, and are collected as either purer liquids of gases

Each fractions consist of hydrocarbons with a different number of carbon atoms and each of these has different uses

Q

decane and octane are straight chain carbons

why are they not used in this form as fuels in the car engine?

A

because of their straight chain carbons they don’t burn steadily or smoothly

the straight chain compounds ignite prematurely, causing ‘knocking’, which can damage the engine

the efficiency is low

Q

describe how crude oil was formed

A

formed millions of years from remains of dead organisms (dead sea creatures)

millions of yeras ago huge numbers of microscopic animals and plants, plankton, died and fell to the bottom of the sea - remains covered in mud

as the mud sediment was buried by more desiment it started to change into rock as the temperature and pressure increased - the plants and animals were ‘cooked’ by this process and slowly changed into crude oil

crude oil is less dense than the water in rocks so it will rise as a result of pressure from below and often escape altogether if the rocks are permeable

(if the rocks are impermeable, oil can’t rise through and gets trapped)

Q

talk about ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFCs)

A

they were found in aerosols, fridges and packaging materials made from expanded polystyrene

these CFCs drifted up to the upper atmopshere and began destroying the Ozone layer which let harmful sun rays reach the Earth’s surface

in some areas the Ozone layer disappeared completely

many people developed skin cancer

in the 1980s the hole in the Ozone layer was such a worry that CFCs were banned for use in aerosols, fridges and packaging materials
