Obtaining useful substances from crude oil
  1. Long thick gloopy molecules form things like tar which have limited uses
    1. However, these long molecules can be shortened by a process called cracking
    2. Cracking
      1. Thermal decomposition reaction
        1. Breaking down molecules by heating them
        2. How to do it
          1. Heat the long-chain hydrogen to vaporise it
            1. The vapour passes over a powdered catalyst (aluminium oxide)
              1. The long chain molecules 'crack' on the surface of the catalyst
                1. Shorter alkane
                  1. Can be used for fuels like parrafin and petrol
                  2. Alkene
                    1. Make plastics
                      1. C3H6
                        1. Propene
                        2. H-C-C=C
                          1. Prop-1-ene
                          2. H H H
                            1. H H
                              1. React with bromine water, declourising it
                                1. C2H4
                                  1. Propene
                            2. Mix the vapour with steam at a very high temperature
