New cards

Soap Structure

  • Formed from base hydrolysis of fats and oils

  • Have a polar hydrophilic head, and a hydrophobic tail

2
New cards

Soap Benefits

  • Made from natural fats and is hence biodegradable

  • Effective for human hygiene

3
New cards

Soap Negatives

  • Able to form soap scum in hard water, which is water with high Ca2+ and Mg2+, and hence form insoluable salts, this is because a soap molecule contains a carboxylic ion, which is able to form an ionic force of attraction

4
New cards

Anionic Detergent Structure

  • Anionic, negatively charged

  • Still has hydrophobic tail

  • Head etc Benzene Sulfonate,

5
New cards

Anionic Detergent Benifets

  • Do not precipitate in hard water

  • Availability of materials, such as petrochemicals

  • Suitable for cleaning of textiles

6
New cards

Anionic Detergent Negatives

  • Non biodegradable

  • Excessive foaming

  • Not suitable for use in personal hygiene, strips away to much oil from body

7
New cards

Cationic Detergennt

  • Has a hydrophobic tail

8
New cards

Cationic Benefits

  • Don’t precipate in hard water

  • Cleans plastics better

  • Used as fabric softener, reduce friction and static electricity

9
New cards

Cationic Detergent Negatives

  • Can kill living things (biocidal)

10
New cards

Non Ionic Detergent Structure

Have a non ionic hydrophilic head, containing an oxygen atom in the chain and a terminal alkanol group

  • Hydrophobic taill

11
New cards

Non Ionic Detergent Benifets

  • Do not precipate in hard water

  • Low foaming detergent useful in low-sudsing applications

  • Such as dishwashers

12
New cards

Polymer Average MM

  • Related to number of monomer units

  • Longer the chain, higher the weight, hence higher strength dispersion force

13
New cards

Polymer Chain Branching

High Density:

  • Forms crystalline polymer (tightly ordered and packed)

  • Hard and dense material


Low Density:

  • Non crystalline

  • Low melting point, hence more flexible and soft

14
New cards

Polymer Chain Stiffening

  • If a monomer, has a side chain it leads to polymers with reduced flexibility

  • The larger the side chain, the less it is able to move around

15
New cards

Polymer Cross Linking

  • When two polymers are joined together in 2d network

  • Increases strength

  • Cross linking agent, such as sulfur is required

16
New cards

Polymer Solubility in Water

  • Polymer consist of long chains of carbon, hence dispersion forces are the most common

17
New cards

Polymer Stabiltiy

Most polymers contain C-C, C-H bonds which are very stable

  • Some polymers, such as PVC contain C-Cl bonds, which are weaker than C-H and break down in the presence of UV light

18
New cards

Addition Polymer

A polymer formed by adding together without loss of atoms

19
New cards

Polymer Initiation

  • Initiator molecule breaks the double bond, (must have double bond)

  • etc Hydrogen Peroxide, when is reacted forms a free radical, which want to react

20
New cards

Polymer Elongation/Propagation

  • Once a free radical starts the reaction, a new monomer forms, forming another free radical

  • Propogation process

21
New cards

Polymer Termination

sf

22
New cards

Polyethene

Monomer Name: Ethene

23
New cards

Low Density Polyethene

  • Has branched chain

  • Amorphous (disordered)

  • Weak bonding due to disperson forces

  • Soft plastic

24
New cards

High Density Polyethene

  • Crystaline (ordered chains)

  • Stronger dispersion forces

  • Denser, tougher and rigid

25
New cards

Polychlorethene

  • Monomer is chloroethene

  • Polar C-Cl produces string dipole-dipole forces

  • C-Cl bond vulnerable to U.V light however

  • Adding plasticiser, will soften it by weakening the IMF

26
New cards

Polyphenylethene

  • Monomer Name, phenylethen

  • Looks like an ethene, but with a benzene ring swapped out with a hydrogen

  • Bulky side group hinders rotation and prevents chain flexibility

  • Use for takeaway containers

27
New cards

Polytetrafluoroethane

  • Monomer Name: 1,1,2,2 - tetrafluoroethane

  • Creates a highly polar, symmetrical polymer

  • Has weak disperson forces, so is non stick, non-polar, hard to interact

28
New cards

Condensation Polymerisation

  • Formed by condensation reaction, elimination of a small molecule, such as water when monomers join together

29
New cards

Polyamides

  • Formed by the reaction between dicarboxylic acid and diamine

  • There is an amide linkage

  • Water molecule is released each time

30
New cards

Nylon-6,6

  • Formed between Hexanedioic Acid and Hexane-1,6-diamine

  • An amide link is formed

  • Alternate between 4 CH2 and 6 CH2

  • Water is produced

  • High tensile strength (due to H bonding)

  • Lightweight material, stretch

31
New cards

PET - Polyethene Terepthalate

  • Formed from Benzene-1,4-dioic acid and ethane-1,2-diol

  • High mechanical strength due to polar ester group

  • Large benzene ring gives strength and stiffness

  • Chemically inert

  • Used for packaging
