C9-Crude Oils And Fuels

Cn H2n+2

Methane Ethane Propane Butane

A saturated hydrocarbon with the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂,

Unsaturated hydrocarbon, which contains a carbon-carbon double bond. Its general formula is CₙH₂ₙ, for example, ethene C₂H₄

the reaction used in the oil industry to break down long-chain hydrocarbons into shorter-chain, more useful hydrocarbons

A way to separate liquids from a mixture of liquids by boiling off the substances at different temperatures, then condensing and collecting the liquids

A covalent bond made by the sharing of 2 pairs of electrons

easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly

Hydrocarbons with similar number of carbon atoms and boiling points separated from crude oil

A compound containing only hydrogen and carbon

a substance that contains 2 or more elements that are not chemically bonded together

A hydrocarbon with only single bonds between its carbon atoms. This means that it contains as many hydrogen atoms as possible in each molecule

A hydrocarbon whose molecules contain at least 1 carbon-carbon double bond

The resistance of a liquid to flowing or pouring; a liquids “thickness”

how readily a substance vaporizes

CH₄

C₂H₆

C₃H₈

C₄H₁₀

a group of organic compounds with similar chemical properties who share the same general formula.

When a hydrocarbon burns in the maximum amount of oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide

An oxidation reaction as the hydrocarbons gain oxygen and lose electrons. It is also an exothermic reaction as energy is released to the surroundings during the reaction

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) -> CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g) -> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)
