C7 Flashcards
What is crude oil made from?
the remains
of an ancient biomass consisting mainly of plankton that was buried
in mud.
finite rescource
How long did crude oil take to
form?
Millions of years
What are hydrocarbons made of?
Molecules containing hydrogen and carbon ONLY
What is the general formula for
alkanes? Are they Saturated or unsaturated?
Saturated compound
CnH2n+2
Name the first 4 alkanes in order
Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane (Monkeys, Eat, Purple, Bananas)
covalent bonds
Describe the trend in boiling points
of hydrocarbons
As the hydrocarbon gets bigger, the boiling points INCREASE
Name the process used to
separate crude oil.
Fractional Distillation
Describe the properties of a LONG chain hydrocarbon
-High boiling point(less volatile)
-very viscous
-low flammability/ harder to ignite
-burns with smoky flame
State the 2 products of COMPLETE
combustion of hydrocarbons.
What else is produced?
What is the balenced formular?
Oxidation or reduction?
Carbon dioxide and water (g) + energy
Carbon+ hydrogen= oxidised
State the possible products of INCOMPLETE combustion of
hydrocarbons
What else is produced?
Water(g) +carbon monoxide/ carbon particulates
Name the 2 methods of cracking
Catalytic cracking and steam cracking
Describe the test for alkenes
Add bromine water
-colourless=alkene as water= decolourised
+stay orange
Describe the result of the test for alkenes
Bromine water goes from orange to colourless with an alkene
Draw the product when ethene reacts with hydrogen.
ethan
Draw the product when ethene reacts with chlorine.
Draw the product when ethene
reacts with water.
Draw butanol
Name the process to produce
ethanol from sugar
Fermentation by yeast
Draw propanoic acid
Name the shape of a DNA
molecule
Double helix
What monomer forms the DNA
polymer?
Nucleotide.
What monomer forms the
protein polymer?
Amino acid
Give an example of an Homoglogous series.What does that mean?
-A group of organic compunds with same funtional group wich react in a simmilar way
e.g. Alkanes
Describe the process of fractional distilation.
1)Heat to vapourise crude oil
2)Temp gradient (gets cooler as you go up).
3)Gas rises up the column
3)Long=high boiling points= condence earlyer near bottem.
4)Shorter=lower boiling points=condense later on near top
5)End up with mixture seperted into diff fractions each fraction= simmilar carbon atoms+boiling points
the gases condense at thei boiling points
lable the length of the hydrocarbon and the product
What are the uses of crude oil?
- Fuel for transport
-
Petrochemical industry for feedstock to make new compounds e.g polymeers, solvents, lubricants and detergants
=> Example of orgainc compounds each wich diff homologous sereies
What is cracking and why is it useful?
-long chain= fuel short chain=tar not so useful
-Cracking-Turing long chain hydrocarbons into useful short chain hydrocarbons, a thermal decompostion rection, braking down molecule via heating
What are the conditions for steam and catalytic craking?
Catalytic cracking:
-Heat long chain to** vapourise** the
-pass over hot powdered Aluminium oxide, a catalyst.
-long chain is then split apart on surface of Catalyst
Steam cracking:
-Add steam and heat to vaporise hydorcarbon
-Add steam and heat
What is genral formular for alkenes are they saturated or unsaturated?
-C=C double bond=>unsaturated
-it can open to make single bond=more rective than alkAnes
How do Alkens combust and why?
-in little oxygen in air= incomplete combustion
-Smokey yellow flame+less energy.
