What is fuel oil used for ?
Used as a fuel for larger ships and also in some power station
What is bitumen used for ?
Used for surface and roads and roofs
The long carbon chain does it have a high or low boiling point
High
What fuel are most flammable
The once at the top with the shorter carbon chains are the best fuel
What happens to the once that have long carbon chains that are at the bottom
Use for something else -broken down into smaller hydrocarbons a process called cracking
What is crude oils
A mixture of different length hydrocarbons
What happens to the long carbon chains that don’t evaporate
The become a residue and used for bitumen
Where is it is going to very viscous
At the bottom of the condense column
Where is it not really going to be viscous
At the top of the condense column
How do you make short carbon chains from long hydrocarbons
Crack it using heat catalyst which will give us short alkanes and alkenes
