#1
Front (Question)

Compare the structre, bonding and reactions of ethene and ethane

Back (Answer)

• ethene is alkene • ethane is alkane • both hyrdocarbon with two bonds • ethane has only single bonds and is saturated • ethene has one double bond so is unsaturatred • Both have simple covalent structure with covalent bonds • Ethene is more reactive than ethane • bromine water test • can react with hyrodgen, water, halogens

#2
Front (Question)

Explain why large hydrocarbon are cracked into smalled ones

Back (Answer)

• Large hydrocarbons are less useful • Greater demand for small molecules

#3
Front (Question)

How is crude oil seperated in fractions

Back (Answer)

• Crude oil is heated and then some is vapourised • Gas travels up the column and condense at their boiling point • Hotter at the bottom

#4
Front (Question)

how is crude oil formed

Back (Answer)

• ancient biomass • buried in mud • and compressed • for millions of years

#5
Front (Question)

How is keresene produced from hydrocarbon vapours

Back (Answer)

• Temperature gradient in column • kerosene condenses • at boiling point of keresene

#6
Front (Question)

How is crude oil seperated into fractions

Back (Answer)

• crude oil is vapourised by heating • there is a temperature gradient • gases condense at different levels • due to their different boiling points

#7
Front (Question)

Crude oil can be used to make feedstock. what material can be made from it?

Back (Answer)

• Detergents • Solvents

#8
Front (Question)

How are smaller hydrocarbons formed from heavy fuel oil

Back (Answer)

• cracking • high temperature • steam/catalyst

#9
Front (Question)

What fuels are produced from fractional distillation

Back (Answer)

petrol • cars keresene • air craft fuels desiel • diesel engine petroleum gas • fuel

#10
Front (Question)

Materials produced by the petrochemical industry

Back (Answer)

• Plastic • cosmetics • resins • fertilisers • detergents

#11
Front (Question)

Cracking: Thermal Decomposition

Back (Answer)

• Uses heat to break down a molecule • From long chain alkane to short chain alkane and alkene

#12
Front (Question)

Catalytic cracking conditions

Back (Answer)

• Zeolite catalyst • High temp (lower than steam cracking)

#13
Front (Question)

Steam cracking conditions

Back (Answer)

• High temp (750C) • Steam (H2O gas)

#14
Front (Question)

How is natural gas formed

Back (Answer)

• plankton die • covered in sediment • high pressure + high temp • millions of years
