response to surging domestic use and worldwide demand.
The table below shows two different identified processes to produce ethanol.

Information 2
An advertisement for crisps claimed that they are healthier because they are cooked in certain
oils. A student found the following information about four oils that are used to make crisps.

C
One hypothesis is that oils are thought to be healthier if they are:
x Low in saturated fat.

x High in poly-unsaturated fat.
For certain oils and fats such as olive oil, soybean oil, or nut oils, when compared with others,
such as margarine, butter, chicken fat and beef fat (the white stuff found in and around slabs of
meat), the most prominent difference that was discovered was that different oils and fats have
different states of matter at room temperature.
Some oils and fats are liquid at room temperature, and even when kept in the fridge, like olive
oil and soybean oil. By contrast, other fats have higher melting temperatures.

14
The melting point of fats is the temperature at which they become liquid. Graph 1 shows the
change in melting point for saturated hydrocarbon.

The melting temperature is the same as freezing temperature; it is the temperature where the
fat changes from a liquid to a solid.
In addition, the effect of the percentage of saturated fats within certain oils on the energy
released from combustion was investigated. It was found out that as the saturation of the
carbon chain increases, the energy released from combustion decreases.

B9 Zinc is extracted from an ore called zinc blende, which consists mainly of zinc sulfide, ZnS. The zinc
blende is first crushed to powder and then treated by froth flotation (mineral processing, where it is
used in the extraction of several metals).
Zinc blende reacts with oxygen in the air to produce zinc oxide and a gas which escapes as waste
gas.
