Chapter 11 Flashcards
What is the temperature gradient in fractional distillation
Hot at the bottom colder at the top
Steps of fractional distillation
Crude oil heated to above 350 and vaporised and put into column
When the top drops below a hydrocarbons boiling point it condenses
Fractions made with hydrocarbons with similar mp and bp
How does the viscosity bp and flammability change going up the column
Bp decreases
High viscosity———> low viscosity
Flammability increases ( short chain hydrocarbons ignite more easily)
How many bonds can carbon form
4
Define hydrocarbon
Organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen only
What is a saturated hydrocarbon
Single bonds only
What is an unsaturated hydrocarbon
Carbon -carbon multiple bonds
Functional group
Part of the organic molecule responsible for its chemical reactions
Homologous series
Series of organic compounds with the same functional group but with each successive member differing by CH2
General formula for alkanes
CnH2n+2
What is aliphatic
Hydrocarbons with carbon atoms joint in straight or branches chains
What is Alicyclic
Hydrocarbon with carbons atoms joined in a ring structure
What is aromatic
Some or all carbon atoms found in a benzene ring
What are the homologous series of aliphatic hydrocarbons
Alkanes
Alkenes
Alkynes ( triple bond)
How do you name branches
Use stem for the number of carbons and add yl
Eg methyl
Ethyl
Propyl
How do you name a hydrocarbon with more then one alkyl group on the main chain
Alphabetically
General formula for cycloalkanes
CnH2n

What is an empirical formula
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element
Molecular formula
The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
