-OH?
alcohol
why cant methane be methene?
bc it only has one carbon and it has weak intermolecular forces
what does dissolved CO2 become?
acidic
what properties does CO2 have?
- east for molecules to overcome
- weak intermolecular forces
uses of fossil fuels?
- toothpaste
-plastic
-fuels
process of making methane?
- it doesn’t take much thermal energy to overcome the weak intermolecular forces of methane
- molecules have kinetic energy and move freely
- becomes a gas
bigger molecules properties
- cant ignite
- viscous (thick)
- high B.P
strong I.M.F
smaller molecules properties
- can ignite
- Low B.P
- weak I.M.F
- not viscous (thin)
what is crude oil?
a mixture of different hydrocarbons with different lengths (alkanes)
how is it separated?
fractional distillation
what are the gases produced from the fractional distillation?
Refinery gas
Gasoline
Naptha
Kerosene
Desiel oil
Fuel
Lubricant
Bitumen residue
(really, good, naps, kills, depressed, flexible, loving, boys)
why does dense gas evaporate first at the highest point?
because it needs the least amount of energy
how do we reduce air pollution?
burning less fossil fuels
what do cars have?
catalytic converters
respiration?
breaking down nutrients
what makes nutrients more useful?
by breaking them down into smaller compounds
