KnockingKnocking
• Air-fuel mixture auto ignites or pre-ignites when the engine is hot.
• It can be heard as ‘knocking’ or ‘pinking’ and is potentially damaging to the engine and inefficient.
• Leaded petrol contains anti-knocking agent, lead tetra-ethyl Pb(C2H5)4 – toxic gases.
• Unleaded petrol requires a much higher proportion of branched and aromatic hydrocarbons to increase the efficiency of burning.

CFC’s
• Chlorofluorocarbons were developed for use where a non-flammable volatile liquid was required.
• During the 80’s there was growing concern over the depletion of the ozone layer. CFC’s were resposible.
• When UV rays met the CFC’s in the upper atmosphere the molecules would break up leaving a Cl atom.
• This Cl atom then converts O3 (ozone) into O2.

Condensation polymers
• Made from a monomer which contains 2 functional groups per molecule.
• The monomers join in chains by eliminating a molecule of water.
• Examples we will learn about include polyesters, polyamides and aramids.
![Page 27: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Uses of polyesters• If the monomers link only linearly, the polyester
produced can be used for textile fibres, ropes, cords and sailcloth.
• However if the monomers have additional hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) crosslinkingcrosslinking occurs.
• This creates a 3D thermoplastic used in the manufacture of bottles for soft drinks & fleece jackets.

Proteins
• Proteins are natural products formed by many plants and allall animals.
• All proteins contain carbon, hydrogen oxygen & nitrogen.
• Nitrogen comes from either the air, fertilisers or from the action of bacteria in nodules on some plant routes.
• Proteins are condensation polymers made by linking together many amino acids.
![Page 34: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Proteins
• Different proteins are used for different processes in the body.
• The body cannot produce all the amino acids required for body proteins.
• Therefore essential amino acidsessential amino acids must come from dietary proteins.
![Page 35: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Digestion
• During digestion protein molecules are broken down or hydrolised to produce a mixture of amino acids. This process is catalysed by enzymes.
• The amino acid can then pass through the gut wall into the bloodstream.

Protein classification: Fibrous Fibrous
• Fibrous proteins are long and thin. They are the major structural materials for animal tissue; keratin, (hair, nails & feathers) collagen (muscles), fibroin (in silk).
• Generally insoluble in water & resistant to acids & alkalis.
![Page 43: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Protein classification: Globular Globular
• Globular proteins have spiral chains folded into compact units.
• Globular proteins are involved in maintenance and regulation processes due to their solubility in water.
• Examples include all enzymes, many hormones, haemoglobin and antibodies.
![Page 44: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Enzymes
• Enzyme function is related to the molecular shapes of proteins.
• Denaturing of a protein involves physical alteration of the molecules as a result of temperature change or pH change.
• The ease with which a protein is denatured is related to the susceptibility of enzymes to changes in temperature and pH.
• Enzymes are most efficient within a narrow range of temperature and pH.
![Page 45: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Enzymes
• Enzymes are all globular proteins. Enzymes catalyse specific reactions because of their specific active site.
• Only molecules with the correct shape will fit onto the surface and it is only these molecules which will react using that particular enzyme as a catalyst.
![Page 46: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• When the enzyme is heated or the pH altered the shape of the molecule may change because the pattern of intermolecular bonding between chains is altered.
• Chemists and biologists call this change to the enzyme denaturing since it can no longer carry out the specific reaction it was originally used for.

Fatty acids
• Can be saturated or unsaturated straight chain carboxylic acids containing even numbers of carbon atoms. (C4-C24)
• Fats and oils consist largely of mixtures of triglycerides in which the 3 fatty acids attached to the glycerol may be different.
![Page 50: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Hydrolysis of fats & oils
• Fats & oils are esters.
• When fats and oils are heated with superheated steam they break up or hydrolysehydrolyse to form
• Gylcerol• Fatty acids
Ratio of 3 fatty acids to 1 glycerol
![Page 51: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Soaps
• Soaps are produced by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.
• This hydrolysis is usually carried out using sodium or potassium hydroxide.
• Glycerol is liberated and used as a raw material in other processes.
• The fatty acids are produced in the form of their potassium or sodium salts. These salts are soap!

Test for unsaturation?
• How do fats & oils effect bromine water?
![Page 55: World of Carbon Unit 2. Fossil fuels - What are they? - How were they formed? - Fractional distillation Pollution - Greenhouse effect - Renewable](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649f0d5503460f94c2089a/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
What's the difference?
• Fats are solid at room temperature, oils are liquids.
• The difference in melting point comes from the higher degree of unsaturation in oils.
FatLow level of unsaturation
