J.Darren:
Addition polymerisation - Only produces the polymer
Condensation polymerisation - Produces water and polymer

Uses of polymers :

Nylon and terylene - make clothes
Nylon - rope making
PVC - electrical insulator and pipes
Poly(ethene) - bowls, buckes and plastic bags

Plastic and pollution :

- Source of visual pollution
- Burning produces toxic gas

Nylon and proteins :

C=O-OH and NH2 monomers

Proteins has many monomers as it is a biological polyamide, whereas synthetic polyamide, such as nylon, only contains the aforementioned monomers.

When they are joined together, an amide linkage C=O-NH is formed, water is eliminated in forming this linkage.

Amino acids -> Water + Protein (Condensation polymerisation)

Water + Protein -> Amino acids (Hydrolysis, boil with hydrochloric acid)

Polyesters :

C=O-OH and OH monomers

When they are joined together, an ester linkage C=O-O is formed, water is eliminated in forming this linkage.

Fats :

Animal fats and vegetable oils are esters.

Fat (Glyceryl sterate) + Sodium hydroxide -> Sodium salt of long-chain organic acid (Sodium sterate) + Glycerol

J.Darren:
Carbonhydrates :

Contains only Carbon, Hydrogen and Water.

The ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen atoms is in 2:1 ratio.

Glucose - C6H12O6
Starch - (C6H10O5)n

Two OH monomers were joined to form Starch :

-O-[]-O-[]-O-[]-

Glucose -> Starch + Water (Condensation polymerisation)

J.Darren:
Acid hydrolysis of complex hydrocarbons :

Heated with dilute HCl, the acid is a catalyst in this reaction.

Starch + Water -> Glucose

The reaction can be catalysed by enzymes, but the sugar produces would be different.

Fermentation :

Glucose -> Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide

Catalysed by enzymes from yeast.

The reaction is an anaerobic respiration of yeast cells, oxygen in air would oxidise ethanol to carbon dioxide.

35 degree celsius - optimal temperature. Too high - enzymens gets denatured. Too low - rate would be too slow to be economical.

Fermentation ceases when the concentration of ethanol reaches 14%, this is because ethanol is poisonous to yeast, and at this concentration yeast dies. All the glucose has been used up.

C6H12O6 -> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

and now   my question



how do you know wich is the limiting reagent if the mole ratio is NOT 1:1     :) :)

ya i heard that one before, i heard a chemistry teacher saying,

knaca thin and age of lead...

Oxygen will oxidise ethanol 2 ethanoic acid, da atmospheric oxygen is not enough to oxidise it to CO2....! da rest r impressive, great work!!!
