The branch of chemistry that deals with carbon compounds

Question 2

What does Organic Chemistry exclude?

Answer 2

Oxides and compounds of carbon based ions

Question 3

What are examples of non-renewable fossil fuels?

Answer 3

Coal, Oil Sands, Heavy Oil, Crude Oil, Natural Gas

Question 4

What are Hydrocarbons?

Answer 4

Compounds containing carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms

Question 5

What is the starting point for many for the synthesis of thousands of products?

Answer 5

Hydrocarbons

Question 6

What is Refining?

Answer 6

The physical and chemical processes for separating complex mixtures into simpler mixtures or pure

Question 7

What is natural gas primarily made of?

Answer 7

Methane CH4

Question 8

What is an Alkane?

Answer 8

A class of hydrocarbons that contains only single bonds and only carbon and hydrogen atoms

Question 9

What do impurities do to raw natural gas?

Answer 9

Make is sour

Question 10

What does H2S do to raw natural gas?

Answer 10

Forms acidic solutions in contact with water and is deadly

Question 11

How is natural gas refined?

Answer 11

Natural gas is pumped from the well to gas treatment plant
Water and liquid is removed
Gas reacts with an amine which removes H2S and CO2 which sweetens the gas
The H2S reacts w/ O2 to produce sulfur dioxide where the sulfur is recovered

What are the names for Alkyl branches?

Answer 16

Methyl 1
Ethyl 2
Propyl 3
etc…

Question 17

What is a branch?

Answer 17

Any group of atoms that form branches on the structures of larger molecules

Question 18

What is an Alkyl branch?

Answer 23

By placing the prefix cyclo- in front of the alkane name ex. cyclobutane
