Chemistry Flashcards
What happens to the temp in exothermic?
It increases
What happens to the temp in endothermic?
It decreases
What happens to the energy in exothermic?
It is transferred from stores of energy in chemical bonds to the surroundings
What happens to the energy in endothermic?
It is transferred from the surroundings to stores of energy in chemical bonds
Bond breaking is…
Endothermic
Bond making is…
Exothermic
What does it mean if the energy change is negative?
Exothermic
What happens if the nervy change is positive?
It is endothermic
How can you extract nitrogen from the air?
Fractional distillation
What are the conditions of the harbour process? 
Iron catalyst
High temp - 450
High pressure - 200atm
What does an increase in temp do to the endothermic process?
Favour it
What is crude oil?
A natural resource
What is crude oil made from?
Fossilised remains of plants and sea creatures
What is crude oil a mixture of?
Hydrogens and carbon ONLY!
What does crude oil need to happen to become useful?
It needs to be separated into different compounds
What makes crude oil not great?
It is not runny enough so it’s difficult to ignite
How do you separate crude oil?
Fractional distillation
What are gases used for?
Domestic heating and cooking
What is pertrol used for?
Fuel in cars
What is kerosene used for?
Fuel for aircraft’s
What is diesel oil used for?
Fuel for some cars and trains
What is fuel oil used for?
Fuel for large ships and power stations
What it bitumen used for?
Surfacing roads and roofs
What does the chain length do to fuels?
The shorter carbon chains the weaker the intermolecular forces are between carbon chains
What does the boiling point do in chain length?
Increase
Why does the boiling point with chain length increase? 
Stronger inter molecular forces between the chains of molecules, so it needs more energy to break them so higher boiling point 
What is the ease of ignition?
The easier it is to turn into a vapour, the easier it is to ignite
What does shorter chain length do to the ease of ignition? 
They have less intermolecular forces so easier to turn into a vapour so easier to ignite
What is viscosity?
How easy a fluid can flow
What liquid has a low viscosity?
Water - flow easily
What has the longest carbon chain? 
Bitumen since it has the strongest intermolecular forces
What happens if you go down the fraction?
The viscosity increases because the chain length is longer, so there is stronger into molecular forces between molecules to break through
What does crude oil contain most of?
Alkanes
What do homologous series chemicals have the same?
General formula
What do homologous series chemicals have that is similar?
Chemical properties
What do homologous series chemicals differ from ?
By CH2 in their molecular formula
What do homologous series chemicals show?
A gradual trend in physical properties
What are alkanes?
Saturated hydrocarbons
Alkenes all end in…
-ane
What are 3 common alkanes?
Methane
Ethane
Propane
