Crude oil consists of a large number of different compounds. Explain how fractional distillation is used to produce useful compounds from crude oil. (3 marks)
Crude oil evaporated in a fractioning tower
Different hydrocarbons in the crude oil have different boiling points
Their vapour condenses at different temperatures in the tower, and are collected as either purer liquids of gases
Each fractions consist of hydrocarbons with a different number of carbon atoms and each of these has different uses
decane and octane are straight chain carbons
why are they not used in this form as fuels in the car engine?
because of their straight chain carbons they don’t burn steadily or smoothly
the straight chain compounds ignite prematurely, causing ‘knocking’, which can damage the engine
the efficiency is low
describe how crude oil was formed
formed millions of years from remains of dead organisms (dead sea creatures)
millions of yeras ago huge numbers of microscopic animals and plants, plankton, died and fell to the bottom of the sea - remains covered in mud
as the mud sediment was buried by more desiment it started to change into rock as the temperature and pressure increased - the plants and animals were ‘cooked’ by this process and slowly changed into crude oil
crude oil is less dense than the water in rocks so it will rise as a result of pressure from below and often escape altogether if the rocks are permeable
(if the rocks are impermeable, oil can’t rise through and gets trapped)
what two things to different fractions have?
different number of carbon atoms
different boiling points
different fractions have a ….. number of carbon atoms and …… boiling points
