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
when the carbon chains gets ……. (more carbon atoms) the boiling points get …… as there are more chains to ……
different fractions have a different number of carbon atoms and different boiling points

explain why the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels is believed to by some scientists to be responsible for global warming

give a simplified version of the process the crude oil that is drilled for by oil rigs goes through?
extracted and goes through distillation
distillation — heated up, parts separate from liquid at different boiling temperatures

what is the catalyst used in making ethanol from ethene?
phosphoric acid
hot crude oil is fed in at the base of a tall column which is kept hotter at the top than at the bottom
what happens to the lighter hydrocarbons?
lighter hydrocarbons have lower boiling points so they vaporise and rise up the tower where they cool and eventually recondense

different fractions have different boiling points
the smallest, lightest chain fracions have the lowest boiling points and come of first at the top of the column
gases are at the top
liquids are in the middle
solids are at the bottom

how is ethanol produced by fermentation?
yeat is added to a sugar or starch solution and left for several days in the warm (30-400C) with the absence of air (anaerobic conditions)
enzymes (catalyst) in the yeast convert the sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide
how many carbon atoms are present in propanoic acid?
3
how much ethene reacts in making ethanol through hydration of ethene?
only a small proportion
how to you know the order of the name of the isomer?
- identify the largest carbon chain

- identify groups attached - e.g. 1C = methyl
- identify type of molecule
- prefix (group) - suffix (type)
if bromine water was added to a sample of ethane what would you see?

talk about ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFCs)
they were found in aerosols, fridges and packaging materials made from expanded polystyrene
these CFCs drifted up to the upper atmopshere and began destroying the Ozone layer which let harmful sun rays reach the Earth’s surface
in some areas the Ozone layer disappeared completely
many people developed skin cancer
in the 1980s the hole in the Ozone layer was such a worry that CFCs were banned for use in aerosols, fridges and packaging materials
talk about the reactivity of haloalkanes
relatively unreactive at ground level but can get into the upper atmosphere where the sunlight acts on them again and makes them attack the Ozone
