November Mocks Flashcards
give the crude oil fractions in order
refinery gases
gasoline
kerosene
diesel
fuel oil
bitumen
catalyst and tempurature for cracking reaction
aluminum oxide
650 c
why are cracking reactions important
creates more useful shorter alkanes
creates alkanes for use in polymers
hydrocarbon definition
a compound containing only hydrogen and carbon
incomplete combusion products
water
carbon monoxide
general formula for aklanes
CnH2n+2 (2 and n’s are small)
unsaturated definition
contains a double carbon bond
hydrocarbon unsaturated test
bromine water orange to colourless
alkane
a saturated hydrocarbon
homologous series
a group of compounds with the same functional group, showing a trend in physical properties
why are long chain hydrocarbons cracked
they are more useful in short chain form
long chains are in low demand
hydrocarbon reaction name
addition
isomer definition
compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas
polymer definition
a long chain molecule
formed from repeating units
molecular formula
the number and type of atoms in a molecule
empirical formula
simplest whole number ratio of element in a molecule
test for water
anhydrous copper(2) sulpphate turns from white to blue
ionic bonding
the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
