2.0 Alcohol and its effects on health 2.1 What is alcohol? An alcohol is an organic compound made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The names of all alcohol end with ?ol?.

2.2 Characteristics of Alcohols Alcohol is a colourless volatile liquid with sweet smell. Most alcohols and water are miscible, i.e. the alcohol are soluble in water. However, the miscibility of an alcohol in water decreases as the number of carbon atoms in its is increases. Alcohol burns easily.

Carbon Compound >> Natural Polymers - Note 1 (Form 5)

6.0 Natural Polymers Polymer - is a compound made up of a very large long-chained molecule formed by many small molecules joined together in a long chain. Two types: natural and synthetic. Natural polymers - obtained from plants and animals. Synthetic polymers - man-made polymers.

Carbon Compound >> Natural Rubber

7.0 Natural Rubber Natural rubber is a type of natural polymer consisting of long chains of monomers. It is obtained from a milky secretion known as Latex.

7.1 Characteristics of natural rubber - elasticity ( ability to stretched when it is pulled and return to its original size when it is released). - Does not conduct electricity and heat. - Soft and precipitates into solid easily when cooled. - Cannot withstand heat. 7.2 The action of Acids on latex Latex consists of long chains of molecules covered with a layer of protein that is negatively charged. When acid is added to latex, coagulation will occur. This is because the positively charged hydrogen ions of the acid will neutralize the negative charges of the layer of protein. 7.3 The action of Ammonia on Latex. When ammonia is added to latex, the coagulation of latex is prevented. This is because the hydroxyl ions of ammonia are negatively charged that will neutralize the positively charged hydrogen ions of any acid present. 7.4 Vulcanisation of rubber Natural rubber is heated with sulphur so that the atoms form strong chemical bonds or cross links between the long chains of rubber molecules, joining them together. 7.5 Uses of Vulcanised rubber Volcanised rubber is used in tyres and tyre products, raincoats, gloves, hose, tubing, footwear, insulators, valves and gaskets.
