Front (Question)

What are alkenes?

Back (Answer)

hydrocarbons with a double carbon-carbon bond. It forms a homologous series

Front (Question)

Formula for alkenes

Back (Answer)

CnH2n

Front (Question)

First four members of alkenes

Back (Answer)

Ethene,propene,butene,pentene

Front (Question)

Why are alkene molecules unsaturated?

Back (Answer)

Alkene molecules are unsaturated because they contain two fewer hydrogen atoms than the alkane with the same number of carbon atoms. -They also contain double bonds.

Front (Question)

How are alkenes used?

Back (Answer)

Formation of polymers Chemical feedstock

Front (Question)

Functional group of alkenes

Back (Answer)

C = C

Front (Question)

What determines the reactions of organic compounds

Back (Answer)

Generality of reactions of functional groups

Front (Question)

What is an organic compound?

Back (Answer)

Contains carbon

Front (Question)

What is a homologous series?

Back (Answer)

A functional group of organic compounds that have similar characteristics and follow a generic formula

#10

Front (Question)

What is a functional group

Back (Answer)

Is the atom or group of atoms that are responsible for characteristic reactions of a molecule

#11

Front (Question)

How to test ethene

Back (Answer)

A lighted splint.

#12

Front (Question)

What happens when alkenes react with oxygen in combustion?

Back (Answer)

They tend to burn in rhe air with smoky flames becsuse of incomplete combustion. They also release legg energy per mole

#13

Front (Question)

What do alkenes react with

Back (Answer)

Hydrogen,oxygen,water and the halogens

#14

Front (Question)

Example of complete combustion

Back (Answer)

Ethene + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water

#15

Front (Question)

Formula of halogen addition and give Example of addition reaction with halogen

Back (Answer)

Alkene + halogen -> Dihaloalkane Ethene + bromine ->dinromoethane

#16

Front (Question)

What is an addition reaction

Back (Answer)

When two molecules join together to form one product.

#17

Front (Question)

Example of hydrogen addition reaction and how does it work

Back (Answer)

Alkene + hydrogen -> alkane Ethene+ hydrogen -> ethane

#18

Front (Question)

Conditions for addition reaction of hydrogen

Back (Answer)

Nickel catalyst About 150°c

#19

Front (Question)

Addition reaction with water and example

Back (Answer)

Alkene + water -> alcohol Ethene+ steam -> ethanol

#20

Front (Question)

Conditions for addition reaction with water

Back (Answer)

300°c 60-70atm pressure Phosphoric acid catalyst

#21

Front (Question)

What is a dihaloalkane?

Back (Answer)

A dihaloalkane is an alkane in which two hydrogen atoms have been replaced by two halogen atoms.

#22

Front (Question)

Alcohol functional group

Back (Answer)

-OH

#23

Front (Question)

First four members of alcohols

Back (Answer)

Methanol Ethanol Propanol Butanol

#24

Front (Question)

How are alcohols formed?

Back (Answer)

Ethanol can be formed from the fermentation of sugar - warm a sealed mixture of yeast and a sugar solution. glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide
