Question 81-85

 

  Base your answers to questions 81 through 85 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

In industry, ethanol is primarily produced by two different reactions. One process involves the reaction of glucose in the presence of an enzyme that acts as a catalyst. The equation below represents this reaction.

In another reaction, ethanol is produced from ethene and water. The equation below represents this reaction in which H2SO4 is a catalyst.

Industrial ethanol can be oxidized using a catalyst to produce ethanal. The equation representing this oxidation is shown below.

81 Identify the element that causes the reactant in equation 1 to be classified as an organic compound. [1]

Answer--> C

82 Identify the type of organic reaction represented by equation 1. [1]

Answer--> fermentation

83 Explain why the hydrocarbon in equation 2 is unsaturated. [1]

Answer-->  not all single bonds

There is a double carbon-carbon bond in an ethene molecule.

84 Explain, in terms of intermolecular forces, why ethanol has a much higher boiling point than ethene, at standard pressure. [1]

Answer--> IMF for ethanol is stronger.
