Q

Dehydration of ethanol to produce ethene

A

Ethanol is passed over hot aluminium catalyst

17
Q

Pros/Cons of Hydration of Ethene

A

Pros - Fast and continuous process, Makes pure ethanol

Cons - High amounts of energy, Non-Renewable

18
Q

Pros/Cons of Fermentation

A

Pros - Renewable, Doesn’t require much energy

Cons - Batch process is slow, Impure ethanol

19
Q

Crude Oil

A

Finite, Mixture of hydrocarbons

20
Q

Properties of Hydrocarbons

A

As chains increase: Boiling points increase
Liquids become less volatile
Liquids flow less easily
Bigger hydrocarbons burn less easily

21
Q

Separating Crude oil

A

Oil is passed into a fractionating column, cooler at top than bottom. Boils, quickly then condenses at certain point to be tapped off

22
Q

Crude oil column at top/at bottom

A

Top going down less volatile e.g refinery gasses most

Bottom going up less viscous e.g fuel oil

23
Q

The 6 fractions

A

Bitumen, Fuel Oil
Diesel Oil, Kerosine
Gasoline, Refinery Gasses

24
Q

Uses for Refinery gasses, Gasoline, Kerosine

A

Refinery Gasses - Domestic heating/cooking
Gasoline - Petrol
Kerosine - Aircraft fuel

25
Q

Uses for Diesel oil, Fuel oil, Bitumen

A

Diesel oil - Busses, Lorries, some cars
Fuel oil - Ships boilers/industrial heating
Bitumen - Road making

26
Q

Problems with fractions

A

Amounts depend on hydrocarbons

Unreactive make into reactive

27
Q

Cracking

A

Large hydrocarbons are converted into smaller ones, that have more demand

28
Q

How Cracking works

A

Fraction heated to give gas, then passed over silicon dioxide and aluminium oxide catalyst at 600-700*C. A mixture of single and double bonds could form.

29
Q

Addition polymerisation

A

Double bond is broken and electrons are used to join neighbouring molecules

30
Q

Polymerisation

A

The joining up of monomers to make polymers

31
Q

Condensation reaction

A

When two monomers combine a small molecule is lost. The monomers retain their bonds.
