Q

How is crude oil formed?

A

The remains of dead sea organisms sink to the bottom of the sea, over time the dirt builds up on top and then they decay anaerobically causing the shells of the dead organisms to form crude oil.
The crude oil rises and is trapped underneath rocks which we drill through to get to it.

Q

What does the larger the hydrocarbon result in? Why?

A

The less volatile(difficult to get into a gas)
High melting and boiling point
More viscous
Less flammable
Because stronger intermolecular bonds

Q

What is the fractional distillation process?

A
  1. Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons
  2. Crude oil is heated to a vapour then put in a fractional distillation column
  3. Column is the hottest at the bottom and cools towards the top
  4. Hydrocarbons make their way up the column and condense at diff temp and collected on plates as fractions.
  5. Large hydrocarbons condense at the bottom and small condense higher up the column

Q

What are the key features of a polymer?

A
  • single bonds
  • lines through bracket
  • “n” after bracket
21
Q

What is addition polymerisation?

A

When monomers double bond open up and join to neighbouring molecules making a very long singly bonded chain

22
Q

What are the properties and uses of Polytherene?

A

Uses: drinking cups and bottles
Props: Doesn’t absorb water

23
Q

What are the properties and uses of Polyvinylchloride (PVC)?

A

Uses: window frames and drain pipes
Props: corrosion resistant, waterproof, heat resistant

24
Q

What are the properties and uses of Polystyrene?

A

uses: packaging, model kits, insulation
props: light, impact resistant, traps heat

25
Q

What are the properties and uses of Polytetraflyorathene (PTFE)?

A

uses: teflon, non-stick pans
props: high melting point, non-stick

26
Q

Explain why plastics have replaced traditional materials for everyday things?

A

Plastics are cheaper, easier to produce, reused and recylced, wide variation in properties, do not biodegrade

27
Q

What are the three disposal methods and their pros and cons?

A
  1. landfill, removed plastic, destroys habitats, plastic doesn’t biodegrade
  2. burning, gets rid of plastic, no landfill needed, produces toxic gases
  3. recycling, less pollution, saves land, nontoxic, plastic weakens after many uses
28
Q

What is the combustion equation?

A

Fuel + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water

29
Q

What are the three factors in a fire triangle needed for combustion to happen?

A

Heat - Water eliminates
Fuel - Firebreak eliminates
Oxygen - Remove oxygen

30
Q

Why shouldn’t you use water in an oil fire?

A

Because the water is denser than oil and sinks making the oil splash and spit spreading the fire

36
Q

How can ethanol be removed using distillation?

A

mixture isheated until ethanol boils, ethanol gas then condenses to form pure ethanol liquid

37
Q

What are some social impacts of drinking?

A

people get drunk, relaxing for people, can lead to violence/damage/ addictions

What are some economic impacts of drinking?

A

earns tax money, repairs,medical costs, policing costs

39
Q

What are the two methods of producing ethanol?

A

A

low temp so less energy needed, sugar is a sustainable course, low pressure so cheaper

41

produces CO2, waste product, stop start production is expensive, sugar needs time to grow

42
Q

What are the advantages of addition to make ethanol?

A

continuous production, no CO2 produced

43

What are the disadvantages of addition to make ethanol?

A

high temp, high pressure, crude oil needed so not renewable

How can you test for alcohols?

A

Acidified potassium dichromate

orange-green

47
Q

Name this alcohol isomer:
H H H OH
l l l l
C C C C

A

Butan-1-ol
