23
Q

Fuels

Small number of carbon atoms

A
  • Low boiling points
  • Evaporate and rise up first
24
Q

Fuels

Higher number of carbon

A
  • Higher boiling point
  • ## As they evaporate, they condense at a higher temperature - lower down the tower
25
Q

Fuels

Refinery gas

A
  • Used for bottled gas for cooking
  • 1-4 Carbon atoms
  • Boiling point of under 40 degrees
  • Gases at low temperatures
  • Very low viscosity (flows easily)
26
Q

Fuels

Gasoline

A
  • Used in cars
  • 5 - 6 Carbon atoms
  • Boiling point of 40-100
  • Very volatile
  • Very low viscosity
27
Q

A
  • Fuel in diesel engines
  • 13-25 Carbon atoms
  • Boiling point: 250 - 350
  • Low volatility
  • High viscosity
29
Q

Fuels

Bitumen

A
  • Used for road surfaces
  • Carbon atoms of over 40
  • Boiling point over 500

30
Q

Alkane general formula

A

CnH2n+2

31
Q

Alkene general formula

A

CnH2n

32
Q

Alkanes

A
  • Unreactive because C-H bonds are strong
  • Can be used as fuel because they combust
  • Saturated hydrocarbons (each molecule only has single covalent bonds)
  • Every atom has a full outer shell
33
Q

Alkenes

A
34
Q

Thermal cracking

A
  • Cracking long chain alkanes into smaller ones
  • High temperature (800 degrees)
  • Ethene and hydrogen gas produced
35
Q

Catalytic cracking

A
  • Another form of cracking
  • Uses aluminium and ceramic based catalysts that lower the temperature required to 500 degrees
  • Cheaper
  • Thermal cracking more useful fo rlonger chain hydrogcarbons
35
Q

Detecting alkenes

A
  • Bromine
  • Hydrogen
  • Steam
  • Confirm the presence of a double bond by testing the ability of an alkene to undergo additionr Reactions
35
Q

Detecting alkenes

Bromine

A
  • Alkenes react with halogens such as bromine
  • Brown to colourless
36
Q

Detecting alkenes

Hydrogen

A
  • Temperature of 200 degrees
  • Presence of a nickel catalyst
  • Also called hydrogenation
36
Q

Detecting alkenes

Steam

A
  • 300 degrees
