50
Q

Why is incomplete combustion dangerous

A

Because it produces carbon monoxide which causes death

51
Q

A

Because it doesn’t make much energy

52
Q

Why is incomplete combustion messy

A

Because it produces soot

53
Q

A

Because it will have a smoky yellow flame

54
Q

What is meant by craking alkanes

A

Craking is breaking large hydrocarbon molecules (which aren’t very useful) into smaller more useful molecules.

55
Q

How do you crake alkanes

A

This is done using high temperatures and catalysts

56
Q

What are catalysts

A

things that spend up rections, you have different catalysts for different reactions

57
Q

What is craking an example of

A

Thermal decomposition

58
Q

Why when alkanes are cracked are the always a mixture of alkanes and alkenes

A

Because there is not enough hydrogens to go around

59
Q

What are alkanes?

A

They are made up of chains of carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms. Different alkanes have chains of different lengths.

60
Q

What is the symbol for a carbon carbon double bond

A

C=C

61
Q

What is the general formula for a alkene

A

CnH2n

62
Q

What are alkenes unsaturated

Because they do not contain the maximum amount of hydrogen

63
Q

What are the first five alkanes?

A 
Methane-natural gas
Ethane
Propane 
Butane
Pentane
64
Q

What type of flame do alkenes burn in

A

A smoky yellow flame

65
Q

Why is bromine water the best way to see if a substance is an alkane or alkene

A

Because it is the easiest to see. Alkenes turn the bromine water from and orange to colourless (it is decolourised)

66
Q

There is more need for ………. chains fractions of crude oil such as ……… than for long chains such as …………..

A

Shorter
Petrol
Diesel

73
Q

What are monomers

A

The are small reactive molecules which can make polymers. Monomers normally contain carbon carbon double bonds

74
Q

What are most plastics made of

A

Alkenes

75
Q

Plastics are very ……. molecules called ………

A

Large

Polymers

76
Q

How are polymers made

A

By joining together thousands of small molecules called monomers

77
Q

How does ethene turn into a polyer

A

When spilt it’s double bonds and join another ethene double bond (which also spits up)

78
Q

Why is cracking so important

A

Because hydrocarbons are difficult to vaporise and they don’t burn easily this means they are no good as fuels. However we can break down large hydrocarbons molecules in the process of creaking

79
Q

How are hydrocarbons craked

A

Using high temperatures and a catalyst

80
Q

What is another way to crack a hydrocarbon without using a catalyst

A

Mixing it in steam and heating it at a high temperature

81
Q

Why is ethene the smallest possible unsaturated hydrocarbons

A

Because you need at least 2 double bonds

82
Q

How do propene molecules and any other alkene molecule join together

A

The double-bond between the carbon atoms in each molecule ‘opens up’. It is replaced by single bonds to the next opened double bond as thousands of molecules join together

83
Q

Why is cracking so important

A

Because hydrocarbons are difficult to vaporise and they don’t burn easily this means they are no good as fuels. However we can break down large hydrocarbons molecules in the process of creaking

84
Q

Who are hydrocarbons craked

A

Using high temperatures to vaporise them and pass them over a catalyst
Or
Mixing it with steam and then heating it at a high temperature

85
Q

Give an example if when the volatility has helped decided what fraction to use

A

The refinery gas fraction has the shortest molecules, so it has the lowest boiling point in fact it’s a gas at room temperature. This makes it ideal for using as bottled gas. It’s stored under pressure as liquids in ‘bottles’. When the top of the bottle is opens, the fuel vaporises and flows to the burner where it’s ignited.

86
Q

Why is ethene the smallest possible unsaturated hydrocarbons

A

Because you need at least 2 double bonds

87
Q

How do propene molecules and any other alkene molecule join together

A

The double-bond between the carbon atoms in each molecule ‘opens up’. It is replaced by single bonds to the next opened double bond as thousands of molecules join together

88
Q

What are crude oils

A

They are a mixture of many different coumpound. Most of the compounds are hydrocarbon molecules

89
Q

Explain the bonding in crude oil

A

There are no chemical bonds between the different parts of a mixture, so the different hydrocarbons molecules in crude oil aren’t chemically bonded to one another. This means that they all keep their original properties, such as their condensing points.

90
Q

What are the properties of a mixture

A

They are just a mixture of the properties of the separate parts

91
Q

How can the parts in a mixture be seperated?

A

By using physical methods

92
Q

crude oil is extracted

A

From the ground to make fuels

Q

Description of alkenes?

94
Q

What is the definition for suturates?

A

They have a single bond

95
Q

What is the definition for unsuturates?

A

They have 1 double bond

96
Q

What is released in incomplete combustion and why?

Carbon monoxide because there is not enough oxygen to burn

97
Q

What are alkenes and alkanes?

A

Hydrocarbons

98
Q

What is fractional distillation used for and what do you do?

A 
To separate crude oil,
Heat to vaporise the crude oil
