Q

How is crude oils separated into fractions

A

The crude oil is heated and vaporized and passed into the fractioning column- high surface area
There is a temperature gradient
To where the hydrocarbon gets depends on its boiling point

Q

Hexane

A

22
Q

ISOMER

A

Isomers have the same molecular formula but a different structural formula

23
Q

Reactions of Alkanes

A

Combustion,substitution, cracking

24
Q

Combustion

A

When an alkane undergoes combustion two products are always formed. Water and carbon dioxide
CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

25
Q

Substitution

A

Alkanes react with halogens in the presence of UV light.

Methane+ bromine = bromethane + hydrogen bromide

26
Q

Substitution formula

A

C2H6 + Cl2 = C2H5Cl + ClH

Ethane + chlorine = chlorethane +

27
Q

Alkenes

A

Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain a carbon to carbon double bond. C=C

28
Q

Ethane

A

C2H4-Alkenes

29
Q

Propene

A

C3H6-Alkenes

30
Q

Methene

A

NO methene as 2 carbon atoms needed for a double bond

31
Q

Butene

A

C4H8-Alkenes

  • 3Isomers
32
Q

Alkenes isomer

A

Cyclobutane

No double bonds, not an alkenes although C4H8 structure

33
Q

Alkenes general formula

A

Cn H2n

34
Q

Saturated

A

Only contains single bonds

35
Q

Unsaturated

A

Contains double and triple bond

36
Q

Test for saturation

A

Bromine water

  • alkenes(unsaturated) decolour the water
  • alkanes (saturated) stays orange
37
Q

Alkene reactions

A

Combustion
Addition
Polymerisation

38
Q

Cracking

A

Breaks long chain molecules into more economically useful shorter chain molecules
Eg. Petrol and alkenes which can be made into polymers
C10H22———> C3H8 + C7H14

39
Q

Cracking- basic

A

The major fractions in most sources of crude oil are bitumen and fuel oil. These fractions are not particularly useful

40
Q

CRACKING CONDITIONS

A

Temperature : 600-700

Catalyst: silica (Si02)

41
Q

Polymer

A

A long chain molecule that is made by joining lots of small molecules known as monomers together

42
Q

Polymeristaion

A

There are two types of polymerization; addition and condensation

43
Q

Addition polymerisation

A

Monomers that contain a double bond (alkenes) ca add together to make an addition polymer

44
Q

Saturation of the alkene monomer?

A

The alkene monomer is originally unsaturated

HOWEVER during polymerization the double bond breaks and the monomers join together

The polymer formed is saturated

45
Q

P-Alkene name: ethene

A

Poly(ethene)
Ch2=ch2 —-> repeating ch2-ch2
Use: plastic bags

46
Q

P-Alkene name: propene

A

Poly(propene)
Ch2=c(ch3)h —-> repeating ch2-c(ch3)h
Use: crates and ropes
