mixture of hydrocarbons in petroleum is separated into smaller groups called…
fraction
each fractions contains
hydrocarbons with similar boiling points
how is petroleum seperated
by fractional distillation due to different boiling point
the use of refinery gas
for heating and cooking
the use of gasoline
fuel for cars
the use of naptha
making chemicals, plasics
the use of kerosene/parrafin
fuel for aircraft
the use of diesel oil
fuel for lorries and tractors
the use of fuel oil 350-500C
fuel for power stations, ships and home heating
list two type of reside and their use
lubricating oil - lubricants, waxes
bitumen - roads surfaces
petrolium fractional distilation
1 refinery gas 2 gasoline 3 naphtha 4 kerosene 5 diesel 6 fuel oil 7 reside : lubricants and bitumen
why are alkane saturated hydrocarbons
no more atoms can be added to their molecules
as the carbon chains get longer, the boiling point of alkanes…
increases
what is complete combustion
C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + H20
e.g propane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water
forms CO2 and H2O
what is cracking
thermal decomposition of alkanes
the products of cracking
longer-chained alkanes forms shorted-chained alkanes and alkenes
organic compounds containing single bonds that no more atoms can be added
saturated
what is isomer
same molecules formula arrange differently
conditions for cracking in industries
catalyst - slicon(IV) oxide + aluminium oxide
high temp - 400-500C
test for unsaturation
yellow bromine water is decolorised if pour into a unsaturated compound
test for unsaturation
turns aqueous bromine colourless
bromine water when an alkane is added
aqueous bromine stays the same yellow
functional group of carboxylic acids
-COOH
ethanol can be manufactured from
1 ethene - by reacting steam and ethene at high pressure and temperature using a phosphoric and catalyst
2 glucose - fermentation
