first four alkanes

A

methane, ethane, propane and butane

18
Q

what is the formula for alkanes

A

Cn H2n+2

19
Q

what is the formula for alkenes

A

Cn H2n

20
Q

what is fractional distillation

A

when you heat up the crude oil to different temperatures and this separates the different oils

21
Q

uses of crude oil

A

fuels, roads, lubricants and polymers

22
Q

is crude oil renewable or will it run out

A

renewable

23
Q

what is cracking

A

cracking is splitting up long-chains of hydrocarbons

24
Q

why is cracking used

A

it is used to take highly supplied oils and crack them to create less supplied oils

25
Q

do alkenes have double or single bonds

A

they have one double bond

26
Q

what is the formula of alcohols

A

Cn H2n+1 OH

27
Q

carboxylic acids

A

they have a COOH on the end

28
Q

what ending do alcohols have on a formula

A

they have OH on the end
