- 1DistillationIs used to separate the components in a mixture of liquid which have different boiling points. E.g A mixture of ethanol (b.p 78) and water (b.p 100)
- 2Fractional DistillationUsed when the components in a mixture have very similar boiling points.
- 3FractionIs a mixture of hydrocarbons of similar Carbon Chain length.
- 4Crude oilMixture of many different hydrocarbons.
- 5HydrocarbonsCompounds made up of Hydrogen and Carbon only.
- 6Crude oil seperationDifferent fractions have different boiling points and this property is used to separate fractions from crude oil.

Size of Carbon Chains - 11Burning FuelsHydrocarbon + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
Coal + Impurities of Sulphur + Oxygen -> CO2 +H2O + Sulphur Dioxide
Hydrocarbon + Insufficient O2 -> Carbon Monoxide + H2O - 12PollutantsCO2 = Global Warming
Carbon Monoxide= Poisonous
Sulphur Dioxide= Acid Rain
Nitrogen oxide= Acid Rain + Triggers asthma
Carbon Particulates(small particles of carbon)= Smog/smoke/fog -> poor visibility - 13Alternative fuelsHydrogen
Ethanol
Biodiesel - 14Using Hydrogen as a fuelProduction= Electrolysis of water
2H2O -> 2H2 +O2
OR
Using Methane= Methane + Steam-> Carbon monoxide + Hydrogen
Burning hydrogen=
H2+O2 -> H20 - 15Advantages of using Hydrogen as a fuelOnly water vapours are produced when burnt.
- 16Disadvantages of using Hydrogen as a fuelFormation of Hydrogen produces a poisonous gas (Methane production).
Electrolysis of water needs electricity.
Can explode as it is highly flammable.
H2 is a gas, so storage is a problem as it needs low temperature, but high pressure. - 17Using Ethanol as a fuelAn Alcohol.
Production of ethanol= Glucose(sugarcane) ->(yeast and 37C) Ethanol +CO2
C6H12O6 -> C2H5OH +CO2 - 18Advantages of using Ethanol as a fuelRenewable
Carbon neutral fuel.(?) - 19Disadvantages of using ethanol as a fuelBurning Ethanol produces CO2.
Quite flammable.
Shortage of land-shortage of food crops-starvation. - 20Bio-dieselA fuel produced from plant sources.
- 21Production of bio-desiel

- 22CombustionHydrocarbon + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water
Hydrocarbon = (Insufficient) Oxygen -> Carbon monoxide + Water + Carbon
Sulphur + Hydrocarbon + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Sulphur dioxide + Water
Nitrogen + Oxygen -> (High Temperature) Nitrogen oxide - 23(Catalytic) CrackingThe process where larger, less useful hydrocarbons are broken into smaller and more useful molecules, using heat and a catalyst.
An example of Thermal Decompostion. - 24An example of CrackingOctane -> Ethene + Hexane

+ C6H14 - 25Definition of CatalystA substance which speeds up the reaction without being used up within the reaction.
- 26AlkenesUnsaturated Hydrocarbons
Unsaturated means in the molecule there is at least ONE carbon-carbon double bond present
e.g C=C - 27General Formula for AlkenesCnH2n
- 28Bromine Water and Alkenes/AlkanesBromine water starts of yellow/orange
Bromine water stays the same colour in the presence of an ALKANE
Bromine water goes colourless in the presence of an ALKENE. - 29Demand for ALKANESShorter alkanes are more in demand than longer alkanes because they are used as fuel/easier to ignite
A fraction of crude oil that has more demand than what meets supply is petrol.
One fraction of crude oil that is in greater supply than demand is fuel oil. - 30Products made from crackingAlkanes= Fuels
Alkenes= Plastics - 31PolymersPlastics are long chained molecules (1000s of atoms)
Long chained molecules are called polymers which are formed by joining small molecules called monomers.
Formed when many monomers join together- reaction called addition polymerisation - 32MonomersSmall molecules
At least ONE carbon-carbon double bond. - 33Polymer formulah h

Styrene -> Polystyrene
Vinylchloride -> Polyvinylchloride - 35Designer PolymersPolymers that have been designer for different uses.
- 36Shape memory polymerA polymer that changes shape as the temperature changes.
Useful for braces. - 37HydrogelsPolymers that work by when the sodium particulates are taken away, the polymer uncoils and the water molecules are attracted to the uncoiled chains.
Useful for nappies - 38Dental polymersPolymers that when UV light is shone on them, they paste together.
Better than metal fillings as they don't conduct heat, and they paste together to make a solid filling.
Useful for fillings - 39Polymer developments1. Food packaging that changes colour when food goes off.
2. Anti-microbial chemicals in packaging to extend shelf life. - 40PTFEBreathable fabric- allow water from sweat to escape.
Work- three layers, outer, PTFE, inner.
Outer layer gets wet.
PTFE- small holes to allow water vapour through, but not water droplets. - 41Disposing of plasticsBurning polymers
Burying plastics
Exporting plastic
Re-using plastic
Reducing plastic
Recycling plastic
Bio-degradable plastic - 42Burning plasticsadv- can be used to generate electricity
dis- plastics give off toxic fumes when burnt - 43Burying plasticsDoes not biodegrade.
- 44Exporting plasticPlaces such as New York have run out of room in landfill- export out of the state to get rid off their plastic,- somewhere else has to deal with it.
- 45Re-using plasticadv- easy to do
dis- most plastic is used for packaging, and thus a one off use. - 46Reducing plastic useSome foods can be used to make packaging.
Paper bags.
Wrapping food in greaseproof paper rather than cling film. - 47Types of plastic (main types)1.PETE poly(ethene)terephthalate
2. HDPE High density poly(ethene)
3. PVC Poly Vinyl Chloride
4. LDPE Low density poly(ethene)
5. PP Poly(propene)
6. PS Polysterene - 48Biodegradable plasticsScientists use biotechnology to change genes in potatoes, so they make plastic instead of starch.

- 58Polyunsaturated oilsMany Carbon-Carbon DOUBLE bonds present.
"Healthy" oil. - 59Detection of unsaturationBromine water- Yellow Br2 turns colourless
Iodine water -Brown I2 water turns colourless
n.b mor unsaturation in the molecules, the more Br2/I2 water will be needed. - 60Saturated oil/fatSolid at room temperature
High melting point
Mainly present in animals
Unhealthy - 61Unsaturated oil/fatLiquid at room temperature (usually)
Low boiling point
Plant oils are mostly unsaturated
Healthy - 62Hydrogenation/hardening of oilNumber of Carbon-Carbon double bonds are reduced by reacting vegetable oil with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst.
Useful- making margarine form sunflower oil and spreads. - 63EmulsionsFormed when droplets of one liquid (i.e oil) are suspended in another liquid (i.e water)
- 64Water and oilDO NOT MIX
Water is polar, oil is nonpolar
Water molecule- small
Oil molecule- large - 65ImmiscibleTwo liquids that DO NOT MIX
- 66MiscibleTwo liquids that MIX
- 67EmulsifierThe molecule that slows the time taken for the immiscible liquids to seperate
- 68Formation of an emulsion Oil and waterEmulsifier's hydrophobic tail binds with oil, hydrophilic head binds with water.
Charged droplets repel each other- spread apart in water.
Small droplets collide + form bigger droplets.
Mixture separates and two layers form.
Emulsion with emulsifier takes longer to separate. - 69Earth's structureasdfghjkl;
