Fuels

• coal, natural gas & petroleum produce carbon dioxide on combustion

• methane is the main constituent of natural gas

• petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons - use fractional distillation to separate into useful fractions

Uses of the fractions as:

• refinery gas for bottled gas for heating and cooking

• gasoline fraction for fuel (petrol) in cars

• naphtha fraction as a feedstock for making chemicals

• diesel oil for fuel in diesel engines

• bitumen for road surfaces

Multiple Choice

Petroleum is considered as a mixture because

• it can be burned as a fuel.

• it can be separated into fractions by distillation.

• it is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years.

• it is a thick, black liquid.

Multiple Choice

At which pipe: M or N are hydrocarbons with lower boiling points collected?

• M

• N

Multiple Choice

Fractional distillation separates crude oil based on the different __________ of the molecules in the mixture

• melting point

• boiling point

• freezing point

• chemical reactivity

Multiple Choice

Where do short chain hydrocarbons collect?

• At the top

• In the middle

• At the bottom

Multiple Choice

Shorter hydrocarbons have:

• Higher boiling points

• Lower boiling points

Homologous series

• hydrocarbon - contain hydrogen and carbon

• families of compounds with the same general formula and similar chemical properties

Multiple Choice

Compounds in the same homologous series have

• different general formulae and different chemical properties.

• different general formulae and similar chemical properties.

• same general formulae and different chemical properties.

• same general formulae and similar chemical properties.

Multiple Choice

Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain

• carbon only

• carbon and hydrogen only

• carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.

• carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.

Multiple Choice

Which formula represents a saturated hydrocarbon?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Alkanes

• saturated hydrocarbons

• contain only single covalent bonds

• generally unreactive, except burning

• complete combustion gives carbon dioxide and water

Alkenes

• unsaturated hydrocarbons

• contain one double covalent bond

• cracking is a reaction that produces alkenes

Saturated vs Unsaturated

hydrocarbons:

> molecular structures

• alkane - single bond only

• alkene - one double bond

> reaction with aqueous bromine:

• alkane - no change

• alkene - yellow/orange decolourised

Multiple Choice

Which statement about alkanes is correct?

• Alkanes are compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

• Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.

• Ethane is used to make poly(ethene).

• Methane is the only alkane that does not contain a double bond.

Multiple Choice

Which statement about alkanes is not correct?

• Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.

• Alkanes burn to release heat energy.

• Alkanes form carbon dioxide and hydrogen when they burn.

• Alkane molecules contain only single bonds.
