12 of 29
4 properties of a short chain hydrocarbon?
Low bp, high volatility, low viscosity (runny), high flammable
13 of 29
What is volatility?
Tendency to turn into a gas
14 of 29
What is vicosity?
How easy it flows
15 of 29
4 properties of long chain hydrocarbon?
High bp, low volatility, high viscosity (thick), low flammable
16 of 29
What is the process called that is used to separate hydro carbons?
Fractional distillation
17 of 29
What happens to the oil before it goes into tower for fractional distillation?
It is vaporised
18 of 29
Where is crude oil fed into?
Bottom of tall towerb (fractionating column)
19 of 29
Which direction does of temp does the column go?
Decreases as u go up
20 of 29
What are the products of complete combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Carbon dioxide and water
21 of 29
How to test for water formed in complete combustion?
Blue cobalt chloride paper or white anhydrous copper sulfate which goes blue
22 of 29
What is produced in incomplete combustion?
Carbon monoxide
23 of 29
What is cracking?
The breakdown of larger hydrocarbon molecules into small ones
24 of 29
Where does cracking happen?
Oil refinery in steel vessels called crackers
25 of 29
What happens when the hydrocarbons have been vaporised after fractional distillation?
Passed over hot catalyst, mixed w steam and heated to high temp
26 of 29
What are unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Alkenes
27 of 29
What do alkenes always have?
