Q

different hydrocarbons have different boiling points, but what does this mean?

A

This means that the crude oil can be separated into useful fractions (parts) that contain mixtures of hydrocarbons with similar boiling points.

17
Q

What does the temperature gradient make?

A

the temperature makes it hotter at the bottom than the top

18
Q

fractions with low boiling points leave at which point of the fractionating column?

A

at the top.

19
Q

fractions with high boiling points leave at which point of the fractionating column?

A

at the bottom.

20
Q

one fraction is called LPG what is its lengthened name?

A

Liquefied Petroleum Gas

21
Q

What does LPG contain?

A

It contains propane and butane, gases at room temperature and are bottled.

22
Q

LPG is at the top of the fractionating column, What is the hydrocarbon at 70*c?

A

petrol (gasoline)

23
Q

What is the hydrocarbon at 180*c?

A

paraffin (kerosene)

24
Q

What is the hydrocarbon at 260*c?

A

What is the hydrocarbon at 300*c?

A

Lubricating oil

26
Q

What is the hydrocarbon at over 400*c?

A

Bitumen

27
Q

When the crude oil goes through the heater what does it come out as?

A

Crude oil vapour

28
Q

at the bottom of the fractionating column what kind of hydrocarbon molecules are there?

A

long chain hydrocarbon molecules

29
Q

at the top of the fractionating column what kind of hydrocarbon molecules are there?

A

Short chain hydrocarbon molecules

30
Q

What can hydrocarbon molecules be described as?

A

Alkenes and Alkanes

31
Q

What can larger alkane molecules be broken down into?

A

they can be broken down into smaller , more useful, alkane and alkene molecules.

32
Q

what is cracking?

A

cracking is the break down of long chain hydrocarbons into smaller, more useful short chain molecules. This is an industrial process.

33
Q

what does cracking need to be successful?

A

A catalyst
A high temperature
A high pressure.

34
Q

When cracking is carried out in a laboratory what is one of the conditions needed?

A

atmospheric pressure

35
Q

Cracking is used to make more…..

finish this sentance.

A

petrol from naptha

36
Q

it can also be used to make alkene molecules that may be used to make…
what is the missing word.

A

Polymers.

37
Q

Is there pressure on there limited resources?

A

yes.

38
Q

Is there enough petrol in crude oil to meet demands

A

no.

39
Q

Why is crude oil often the source of conflict between countries?

A

oil is very valuable

40
Q

in a hydrocarbon molecule there is strong covalent bond, where are they?

A

they are between atoms in the molecule.
