Q

What are three disadvantages of using biodiesel?

A
  1. Plants take a long time to grow. 2. Plants take up space which could be used to grow food. 3. Space to grow plants is needed and so habitats could be destroyed.

Q

Describe the fractional distillation process in six steps

A
  1. Crude oil enters at bottom. 2. Crude oil heated. 3. Crude oil vapourise. 4. Crude oil vapour enters column. 5. Crude oil fractions cool at different temperatures (boiling points) and condense. 6. Shorter fractions at top, longer fractions at bottom.

How is sulphur dioxide made?

A

When sulphur in fossil fuels is burnt in oxygen

12
Q

What are the two ways of making ethanol?

A
  1. Fermentation of sugar from plants. 2. Hydration of ethene (from crude oil)
14
Q

How are nitrogen oxides made?

A

When nitrogen and oxygen react together inside HOT CAR ENGINES

15

What are saturated hydrocarbons called?

A

Alkanes

18
Q

What are disadvantages of making ethanol from hydration of ethene from crude oil?

A
  1. Crude oil is non renewable.
19
Q

If I add orange bromine water to an ALKANE, what would I see?

A

Bromine water stays orange.

20
Q

What conditions are needed to do cracking?

A

Heating at HIGH TEMPERATURES to produce vapours. Vapours pass over a CATALYST.

22
Q

What are the products of burning a fuel?

A

Carbon dioxide and water

23
Q

What is cracking?

A

Breaking down long hydrocarbons into shorter ones.

24
Q

What is a polymer?

A

A large molecule made from lots of monomers joined together

25
Q

What are the disadvantages of making ethanol from fermentation of sugar from plants?

A
  1. Have to wait for plants to grow. 2. Plant space can destroy habitats.
27
Q

How is crude oil separated?

A

Fractional Distillation

29
Q

What is the gerneral formula for alkenes?

A

CnH2n

30
Q

What are plastics made from?

A

Polymers

31
Q

What conditions cause carbon monoxide to be made instead of carbon dioxide when burning a fuel?

A

Limited/ not enough oxygen

32
Q

What polymer would lots of ethene monomers make?

A

Polyethene

33
Q

What is a biofuel?

A

A fuel made from plant or animal products

34
Q

Which gases cause acid rain?

A

sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides

36
Q

Where is the crude oil pumped into the fractional distillation column?

A

at the bottom

37
Q

What is a BIODEGRADABLE plastic?

A

Plastics which can be broken down when dumped in the ground by micro-organisms.

38
Q

What are three advantages of using biodiesel?

A
  1. It breaks down 5 times faster than normal diesel. 2. It is renewable. 3. It is CO2 neutral (plants absorb the CO2 that is released when they’re burnt).
