Q

Describe the formation of coal

A

Planta die and fall into swamps - swamps have no oxygen so they don’t decompose - get buried under sediment - heat and pressure turn them into peat and then coal

Q

Describe the formation of oil and gas

A

Sea creatures and plankton die - fall to the sea bed - remains are covered in layers of sediment - no oxygen so don’t decompose as normal - buried deep underground - turn into kerogen then oil or gas

34
Q

What is crude oil

A

A mixture of thousands of different molecules made up of compounds containing mainly hydrogen and carbon

35
Q

What needs to happen to crude oil for it to be useful

A

It must be separated into different components

36
Q

What is crude oil used to make

A

Fuels for transportation - medicines - plastics and other polymers

37
Q

Is crude oil renewable

A

No

38
Q

As the size of molecules increases what happens to the boiling point

A

It increases

39
Q

When molecule size increases what happens to the viscosity

A

It increases

40
Q

As molecule size increases what happens to volatility (tenancy to turn into gas)

A

It decreases

41
Q

As molecules increases in size what happens to how easy it is to ignite

A

It decreases

42
Q

As molecules increase in size what happens to the efficiency of burning

A

It decreases

43
Q

As the size of molecules increases what happens to how sooty the flame is

A

It increases

44
Q

What is the order of oils in size of molecules increasing

A

Petrol- diesel - lubricating oil - bitumen

45
Q

Where does fractional distillation take place

A

In a fractioning column

46
Q

Describe how fractional distillation separates crude oil into fractions

A

The chain length affects the properties - fractions with small chain lengths have fewer IMF of attraction - it takes less energy to spectate the molecules (turn into gas) - fractions with longer chain lengths have more IMF forces of attraction - takes more energy to separate the molecules

47
Q

What happens when a fuel reacts with oxygen

A

Combustion

48
Q

What happens with electrons when something is oxidised

A

Electrons are lost

49
Q

Why is carbon monoxide produced

A

Around 20% oxygen - nit enough for complete combustion so CO (carbon monoxide) is produced and soot .

50
Q

What does incomplete combustion produce

A

Carbon monoxide and soot through incomplete combustion

51
Q

Describe carbon monoxide

A

Colourless odourless toxic gas
Which binds to the haemoglobin in the blood and stops it from carrying oxygen

52
Q

What does soot cause

A

Contributes to smog and can exacerbate lung conditions

53
Q

What colour does blue cobalt chloride paper turn in the presence of water

A

Pink in presence of water

54
Q

What is addition polymerisation used to make

A

Plastic

55
Q

What is a plastic

A

Made from polymers and polymers are made from monomers

56
Q

Whats needed to make plastics (addition polymerisation)

A

High pressures and a catalyst

57
Q

What happens during an addition polymerisation reaction

A

The double bond opens up to form a single bond

58
Q

What is polyethene

A

Flexible - melting point of 120 degrees used for plastic bags and drink bottles

59
Q

What is polypropene

A

Tough flexible - melting point of 160 degrees used for ropes, crated and buckets

60
Q

Is a polymer a large molecule

A

Yes as lots of polymer chains together make a plastic

61

What is the reaction called which makes polymers from monomers

A

Polymerisation

62

What do alkanes form

A

66
Q

Do Alkenes burn to form carbon dioxide and water

A

Yes

67

By adding a hydrogen molecule this required heat and a catalyst

70

Batch

81

Continually

82
Q

Describe the process if fermentation

A

Starch is extracted from corn and the glucose is mixed with yeast It then ferments to form Ethanol and carbon dioxide

83
Q

Describe the process of hydration

A

Crude oil is refined through fractional distillation or cracking this produces ether which is added to steam to produce ethanol - no waste products
