Identification and Production of Materials ================================ Ethene‚ Polymers and Ethanol ================================ Catalytic Cracking Oil refineries need to balance their outputs of various products (petrol‚ diesel‚ fuel oil‚ etc.) to match the demands of the marketplace. Catalytic cracking is the process in which high molecular weight (high boiling point) fractions from crude oil are broken into lower molecular weight (lower boiling point) substances in order to increase

ALCOHOLS Alcohols are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by an -OH group. For the purposes of UK A level‚ we will only look at compounds containing one -OH group. For example: Primary alcohols In a primary (1°) alcohol‚ the carbon which carries the -OH group is only attached to one alkyl group Some examples of primary alcohols include: Secondary alcohols In a secondary (2°) alcohol‚ the carbon with the -OH group attached is joined directly to

similar to the contents of the chloroplast stroma and like the chloroplast‚ the mitochondrion is a semi-autonomous organelles containing the machinery for the production of some of its own proteins. The main function of the mitochondrion is the oxidation of the pyruvate derived from glycolysis and related processes to produce the ATP required to perform cellular work.(Campbell 182-9) Pyruvate‚ or fatty acids from the breakdown of triglycerides or phospholipids‚ pass easily through pores in the outer

properties of bitumen. There are mainly two types of ageing that is short term and long term ageing. There are two basic mechanisms involved in binder ageing; these include an irreversible process like chemical changes of the bitumen‚ consisting of oxidation of bitumen molecules‚ and loss of volatile components which subsequently has an impact on the rheological properties of the binders. The reversible process is the second mechanism termed as physical hardening; this involves the reorganization of

hydroxyl group. The carboxyl functional group may be attached to an alkyl group or an aromatic group. Benzoic acid‚ is a colourless crystalline solid and a simple aromatic carboxylic acid. It is mainly consumed in the production of phenol by oxidation decarboxylation at 300-400. Oxidizing a primary alcohol can produce carboxylic acids. In this experiment‚ an aromatic carboxylic acids namely benzoic acid will be prepared by oxidizing benzyl alcohol‚ which is an aromatic alcohol with the formula
