IUPAC naming and classification
Alkenes
general formula : CnH2n
Contains double bonds, so they are unsaturated
Boiling point decreases as chain length increases
Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes, as the double bond can be broken to add more atoms.
Hydrocarbons
Contains double bonds
Alkanes
Hydrocarbons, containing only carbon and hydrogen
Consists of single bonds only
Boiling point increases as chain length increases
Saturated, unable to dissolve any further
general formula : CnH2n+2
Alcohol
Contains the OH group
Boiling point increases as chain length increases
React similarly as they have OH group
Dissolves substances that do not dissolve in water
Ethanol
Fermentation
Hydration of ethene
Carboxylic acids
Boiling point increases as chain length increases
Functional group COOH
The oxygen is joined through a double bond, and OH through single bond
Ethanoic acid
Fermentation
Oxidising agents
Esters
Reacting carboxylic acid with alcohol
Two molecules join to make larger molecule, losing water. ( Condensation reaction )
Reaction is reversible
Alcohol comes first in name, and second in formula
