A

16-20 carbons

fuel for central heating

23
Q

lubricating oil

A

20-30 carbons

oil for machines like cars

24
Q

fuel oil

A

30-40 carbons

fuel for ships and power stations

25
paraffin wax
40 - 50 carbons | waxy papers and candles
26
bitumen
50+ carbons | roads
27
why are fractions cracked
to produce shorter carbons chains so that they can be more useful
28
how are fractions cracked
heating the molecules in the presence of a catalyst
29
alcohols
are compounds containing oxygen, carbon and hydrogen
30
what do all alcohols contain
hydroxy group/ functional group
31
the most popular alcohol is ...
ethanol
32
combustion of hydrocarbons and alcohols gives...
fuel + oxygen gives water + carbon dioxide
33
incomplete combustion
if oxygen is limited | 2 simultaneous reactions producing carbon monoxide and soot
34
prefixes of side branches
di, tri, tetra, penta
35
covalent compounds
are liquid at room temp are insoluble poor conductors of electricity share electrons
36
homologous series
when the following or previous hydrocarbon differs by 1 carbon and 2 hydrogens
37
fractional distillation facts
the largest hydrocarbons have the highet boiling points | the fractionating column is hotter at the bottom
38
smallest member of alkene family
ethene
39
smallest member of the alkyne
ethyne
40
what are the different structures
linear v shaped pyramidal tetrahedral
41
crude oil
is a mixtrue of hydrocarbons
42
the homologous series in crude oil is...
alkanes
43
how do the separate crude oil
``` heat to 450 degrees which at that tem they evapourate put in fractioning column condense at their temp turn into liquid and tapped off ```
44
smallest hydrocarbons...
are flammable and can be used as fuels | less than 6 atoms and can be used for cooking
45
hydrocarbons with 7-9 carbons
used as petrol
46
a common feature in hydrocarbons
one or more carbon-carbon multiple bonds
47
alkane properties
homologous series with formula CnH2n+2 all have similar chemical properties do not have identical physical properties
48
alkene properties
homologous series CnH2n unsaturated more reactive
49
alkyne properties
homologous series CnH2n-2 | more unsaturated than alkenes
50
are hydrocarbons insouble at room temp
yes
51
are covalent molecules poor conductors of electricity
yes
52
when crude oil is heated...
hydrocarbons evapouratre
