potassium dichromate and H+ for reflux, distil

acid catalyst for esterification

acid catalyst for alkene + steam

Ni for hydrogenation

Iron for haber process

Can't remember any more :smile:


Thank you!!!!!

Do we need to know nucleophillic substitution with water? Mechanism?

Posted from TSR Mobile


Yes, and it's a hydroxide :OH-

Predictions...
no point stating them because everything WILL come up, look at the past papers if you don't believe me :biggrin:



True :biggrin:
can tertiary alcohol + carboxylic acid form an ester? how does the displayed formula of the ester differ from secondary alcohols + carboxylic acid and primary alcohols + carboxylic acid?

Do we need to know exactly how a mass spectrometer works ?

Stage 1: Ionisation
Stage 2: Acceleration
Stage 3: Deflection
Stage 4: Detection

But not with water right?

would you ever get a secondary alcohol plus a carboxylic acid to form an ester? if you can, how do you do it?


The same way you do it normally, I'm pretty sure I did a question on it before. Remember to make an ester, you need to remove the O-H on the alcohol and remove the -H bonded to the -O in the carboxylic acid and then attach the free bond in the carbon in the alcohol to the -O in the carboxylic acid.

should be propyl ethanoate?*

Question 6 c June 2010 PLEASE help .........its a marker!

:biggrin:

Good luck guys... i love OCR coz the exam in the afetrnoon so we can calmly do it but tbh my brain doesn't work in late mornings.

may I just ask...that there is a nucleophillic addition and a nucleophillic substituition...are those different or same ;/ I think im overcomplicating myself:frown:


Yes, they re TOTALLY different!

Nucleophilic Addition is the involvement of nitrogen rings and all sorts!
We learnt about seven mechanisms before whittling it down to the main three!

you're talking about oxidation of alcohols.

Secondary alcohols can easily form esters with carboxylic acids.

methanoic acid + propan-2-ol --> 2-propylmethanoate

Oh. thanks! I always lose marks in exams due to not reading the paper. RTFP people... Read The Flipping Paper!

No, the one with water is the steam + alkene using Ni catalyst :smile:

They can , you can form the most ridiculous esters you want.
e.g.
2-methylpropan-2-ol + 2-methyl hexanoic acid --> 2-methylprop-2-yl 2-methylhexanoate

the structure just differs from the orientation of the ester bond
I have been scanning through some old past papers. And here are some new type of long answer q's.

* Explain how CCl2F2 in the stratosphere alter the balance of oxygen and ozone. You should include equations in your answer. [6]
* Describe, using one example in each case, the different modes of action of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. [10]
* Outline how ethanol is produced industrially from sugars and from ethene. Comment on the decisions that a company needs to consider when deciding which of these methods to use. [8]
* Outline the processes of how components obtained from fractional distillation are refined with aid of suitable equations. State the importance of products formed in each process [8]

Some not so long, but tricky q's.
* Explain the greenhouse effect [3]
* State two environmental consequences of the presence of nitrogen monoxide
* Explain with reasons two uses of CCl2F2 [2]
* In the conditions often used in the Haber process, there is only a 15% yield of ammonia. Suggest what happens to any unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen. [1]

Yeah, It's propyl ethanoate :smile:
I greatly anticipate OZONE and Green chemistry to come up and mainly.. mechanisms coz these didn't come up in Jan 13

You don't need to know nucleophilic addition until unit 4
Remember that electrophilic addition think alkenes :smile:

Hi
What's the answer to Describe, using one example in each case, the different modes of action of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. [10]

How do you answer the homogeneous and hetrogenous Q?
