Compare the structre, bonding and reactions of ethene and ethane
• 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
Explain why large hydrocarbon are cracked into smalled ones
• Large hydrocarbons are less useful • Greater demand for small molecules
How is crude oil seperated in fractions
• Crude oil is heated and then some is vapourised • Gas travels up the column and condense at their boiling point • Hotter at the bottom
how is crude oil formed
• ancient biomass • buried in mud • and compressed • for millions of years
How is keresene produced from hydrocarbon vapours
• Temperature gradient in column • kerosene condenses • at boiling point of keresene
How is crude oil seperated into fractions
• crude oil is vapourised by heating • there is a temperature gradient • gases condense at different levels • due to their different boiling points
Crude oil can be used to make feedstock. what material can be made from it?
• Detergents • Solvents
How are smaller hydrocarbons formed from heavy fuel oil
• cracking • high temperature • steam/catalyst
What fuels are produced from fractional distillation
petrol • cars keresene • air craft fuels desiel • diesel engine petroleum gas • fuel
Materials produced by the petrochemical industry
• Plastic • cosmetics • resins • fertilisers • detergents
Cracking: Thermal Decomposition
• Uses heat to break down a molecule • From long chain alkane to short chain alkane and alkene
Catalytic cracking conditions
• Zeolite catalyst • High temp (lower than steam cracking)
Steam cracking conditions
• High temp (750C) • Steam (H2O gas)
How is natural gas formed
• plankton die • covered in sediment • high pressure + high temp • millions of years
