Q

Fractional distillation explained

A

-Crude oil is evaporated
-Rises up fractionating column(higher the colder)
-Fractions condense at different points due to different boiling points
-Collected as separate fractions

19
Q

Longer or shorter alkanes have higher boiling points?

20
Q

Why do longer alkanes have higher boiling points?

A

More energy is needed to overcome the stronger intermolecular forces and there are more intermolecular forces because it is longer

21
Q

Longer or shorter alkanes have a higher viscosity

22
Q

Shorter or longer alkanes are more flammable

23
Q

Polymers are made from

A

ALKENES not alkanes

24
Q

An ALKENE is a hydrocarbon with at least one _______ covalent bond (on one of the carbons)

25
Equation for complete combustion
Fuel + Oxygen —> Carbon dioxide + water
26
Incomplete combustion equation
Fuel + oxygen —>Carbon monoxide+ Water
27
Alkenes general formula
CnH2n
28
How to test for alkenes
Bromine
29
What happens to bromine water mixed with an Alkene
Goes Colourless
30
31
Why does bromine water turn colourless in the present of an Alkene
Bromine atoms bond to the Alkene by breaking the double bond
32
Water reacts with an Alkene to produce an
Alcohol
33
What is cracking?
The process of breaking down longer chain hydrocarbons into shorter, more useful ones to meet demands
34
What are the conditions of steam cracking
Steam >800 degrees Celsius
35
Cracking splits an Alkane into an ____and an_____
Alkene and Alkane
36
Alcohol functional group
-OH
37
Ethanol + Sodium ——->
Sodium ethoxide + Hydrogen
38
An alcohol can be oxidised to produce a
Carboxylic acid
39
Polymers are long chained organic molecules of repeating sections made from
Monomers
40
Catalytic cracking conditions
Zeolite catalyst 550 degrees Celsius
41
Monomers joined together by ADDITION POLYMERISATION must contain a
DOUBLE BOND, which breaks in order to produce a single bond
42
Carboxylic acid + alcohol —>
Ester + Water
