(6 cards)
1
Q
What is crude oil
A
A mixture of hydrocarbons made from the remains of animal and plants that lived in marine environments
2
Q
What are alkanes
A
A series of hydrocarbons with similar chemical properties
They are saturated molecules containing only c-c and c-h single bonds
General formala = C2H2n+2
3
Q
Alkane and there formula
Hint - MEPB
A
Methane CH4
Ethane C2H6
Propane C3H8
Butane C4H10
4
Q
What’s cracking and why
A
Converting long chain hydrocarbons into short chain hydrocarbons due to the demand and usefulness of short chain hydrocarbons
5
Q
What are alkenes
A
Unsaturated hydrocarbons with a formula CnH2n and have a C=C bond. DOUBLE BOND.
6
