19
Q

What is fractional distillation?

A

Fractional distillation is the process used to seperate substances with different boiling points

20
Q

What does fractional distillation separate crude oil into?

A

Fractions

21
Q

What is a fraction?

A

A group of hydrocarbons with boiling points within a specific range

22
Q

What do fractions have?

A

Names and specific uses

23
Q

As well as boiling points what do fractions differ with each other?

A

Viscosity and flammability

24
Q

The properties of fractions relate to what?

A

The properties of fractions are related to the size of the molecules in the fraction

25
Q

What are two pollution problems associated with burning fossil fuels?

A

Global warming and acid rain

26
Q

What does the carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels contribute to?

A

Global warming

27
Q

What causes acid rain?

A

Acid rain is causes when gasses such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide dissolve in water in the atmosphere

28
Q

What does acid rain affect?

A

Acid rain kills fish in rivers, erodes buildings and destroys plant life

29
Q

When is sulfur dioxide produced?

A

Sulfur dioxide is produced when some fossil fuels are burned

30
Q

When is nitrogen dioxide made?

A

Nitrogen dioxide is made by sparking of air in a petrol car engine

31
Q

What are some ways that pollution from burning fossil fuels can be reduced?

A

Lean burn engines, install a catalytic converter and use low sulfur petrol

32
Q

What is photosynthesis?

A

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, using light energy in the presence of chlorophyll

33
Q

Why are carbohydrates important for animals?

A

They provide energy

34
Q

What do carbohydrates release?

A

Energy, producing carbon dioxide and water when burned

35
Q

What is the word equation for photosynthesis?

A

Carbon Dioxide + Water ➡️ Glucose + Oxygen

36
Q

What is the word equation for respiration?

A

Glucose + Oxygen ➡️ Water + Carbon Dioxide

37
Q

What is the word equation for burning carbohydrates?

A

Glucose + Oxygen ➡️ Water and Carbon Dioxide

38
Q

What elements are present in carbohydrates?

A

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen

39
Q

Alcoholic drinks can be made from any fruit or vegetable which is a source of?

A

Sugar or starch

40
Q

What is the catalyst for the production of alcoholic drinks?

A

And enzyme in yeast which is the catalyst for this reaction

41
Q

How do alcoholic drink vary?

A

They vary based in the plant source of the carbohydrate

42
Q

What is the work equation for the production of alcohol from carbohydrates?

A

Yeast/ warm or no air
Glucose ➡️ Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide

43
Q

What is distillation used for?

A

Distillation is used to increase the alcohol concentration of the products of fermentation
