Methods | Advantages | Disadvantages |
Fermentation | · Renewable raw materials · Warm, normal pressure needed · Only little amounts of energy is needed to Ferment | · Made in Batches meaning that your will have to stop and start · A lot of workers needed · A very slow process · Impure- needs treatment |
Industrially | · Very Fast · It is also a continuous process | · Uses non-renewable sources |

3.5 I can recall the reaction of methane and bromine
Alkanes react with bromine in the presence of UV Light
Explain why this condition is necessary UV provides the energy needed to break the Covalent bonds
What is this type of reaction called Substitution
State and explain the observations It will go from brown to colorless
Write out a balanced (with state symbols) the reaction between ethane and chlorine
C2H6 (g) + Cl2 (g) --> C2H5cl (g) + HCl (g)
C2H6 (g) + Cl2 (g) --> C2H5cl (g) + HCl (g)
State and explain the observations in this chemical reaction
It turns from a yellow gas into a colorless one
It turns from a yellow gas into a colorless one
3.4 I can recall the products of complete and incomplete combustion of alkenes
1. Saturated hydrocarbons are called Alkanes
2. Small chain Alkanes are used as fuels
3. The reaction is called Combustion
4. The word equation for this chemical reaction is :
fuel (Hydrocarbon) + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + ENERGY (heat, light, sound)
5. If there is insufficient oxygen then the word equation is:
fuel (Hydrocarbon) + Oxygen → Carbon monoxide + Water + ENERGY (heat, light, sound)
6. The problem with this reaction is that Carbon monoxide is produced this gas is a Poison to the human body (see objective 5.11)
7. Where can you find incomplete combustion? In your Car
8. What is used to reduce the harmful products from incomplete combustion? A Catalytic Converter
9. During incomplete combustion a smoky flame is often seen, explain this observation This is unburnt carbon
Extn: write a balanced equation (with state symbols) for the combustion of propane gas
C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(l)

3.2 and 3.3 i can recall the general formula and displayed formula of Alkanes
3. What is the General Formula for Alkanes?
Cn H2n+2
4. Describe and explain the trend in boiling points
The boiling point increases as you go up the Alkane group this is because the further you go into the group there are more bonds that need to be broken
5. three isomers of pentane
3.1 I can explain the terms homologous series, hydrocarbon, saturated, unsaturated, general formula and isomerism
Term | Definition | Example |
Homologous series | A family of Hydrocarbons with a similar general formula | Alkane |
Hydrocarbon | A compound of only Hydrogen and Carbon | Crude Oil |
Saturated hydrocarbon | Contains only single bonds | Methane |
Unsaturated hydrocarbon | Has a Carbon double bond | Methene |
General formula | The mathematical formula in which connects the amount of Hydrogen and carbons | Cn H2n+2 |
Isomerism | Same Chemical Properties but different Physical properties |
