crude oil Flashcards
crude oil
a mixture of different length hydro carbons
hydrocarbon
a molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon atoms onlyyyyyyy
what is Crude oil made from
dead marine organisms that have decayed over millions of years in the absence of oxygen
how can we separate crude oil
fractional distillation
fuel
compound that has stored energy
combustion
reacting a fuel with oxygen
parital combustion
carbon monoxide and water
full combustion
co2 and h2o
hydogen as a fuel is used in
Hydrogen is used as a rocket fuel and in hydrogen fuel
cells that are now being utilised to power cars
+ and - of hydrogen
Advantages Disadvantages
Produced from
water; therefore, it is
renewable.
Requires large amounts
of electricity to produce
hydrogen from water by
electrolysis.
Water is the only
product of its
combustion so burning
hydrogen does not
contribute towards
global warming or acid
rain.
Storage requires bulky
and heavy pressurised
containers.
It ignites easily. Forms an explosive
mixture with air.
what is an alkene
