What is crude oil?	A mixutre of a very large number of compunds
What is a mixture?	A mixture consists of two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined together. The chemical properties of each substance in the mixture are unchanged. It is possible to separate the substances in a mixture by physical methods including distillation.

What is the process of seperating crude oil called?	Fractional distillation.
What does the process of seperating crude oil involve?	Evaporating the oil and allowing it to condense at a number of different temperatures (fractions)
What effects some of the properties of hydrocarbons?	Size
What does viscosity mean?	How thick and sticky a liquid is.
Why are hydrocarbons?	Compounds containing hydrogen and carbon only.
What may be released by burning hydrocarbon based fuels?	carbon dioxide, water (vapour), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. Solid particles (particulates) may also be released.
When are the oxides of nitrogen formed?	High temperatures.
What happens to the carbon and hydrogen during combustion?	They are oxidised
What causes acid rain?	Sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen
What causes global warming?	Carbon dioxide.
What causes global dimming?	Solid particles(possibly containing soot and unburnt fuels).
Sulfur can be _____________ from fuels.	Removed
What are biofuels produced from?	plant material
What are the ethical issues of using biofuels?	Crops that could be used to feed people are used to provide the raw materials for biofuels instead. This could cause food shortages or increases in the price of food.
What are the enviromental issues of using biofuels?	Although they are supposed to be carbon neutral, they aren't as fossil fuels are used in their production however they do produce less carbon than fossil fuels.
What is involved in the cracking of hydrocarbons?	Heating the hydrocarbons to vaporise them. The vapours are either passed over a hot catalyst or mixed with steam and heated to a very high temperature so that thermal decomposition reactions then occur.

What are the advantages of hardened vegetable oils?	The hydrogenated oils have higher melting points so they are solids at room temperature, making them useful as spreads and in cakes and pastries.

What is earth surronded by?	The atmosphere
What is the upper part of the mantle and the crust split up into?	tectonic plates
What causes the tectonic plates to move?	Convection currents within the Earth’s mantle driven by heat released by natural radioactive processes cause the plates to move
What can occur at plate boundaries?	Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What is the distribution of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere?	About 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen
Name 3 other things that are in the atmosphere?	small proportions of carbon dioxide, water vapour and noble gases.
What released the gases that formed the early atmosphere?	Intense volcanic activity
What condensed that formed the oceans?	Water vapour.
What is one of the theories of the earths early atmosphere?	The Earth’s atmosphere was mainly carbon dioxide and there would have been little or no oxygen gas. There may also have been water vapour and small proportions of methane and ammonia.
Who did the experiment using gases from the early atmosphere to test if organic compound could form?	Miller and Urey
What is primordial soup theory?	Early Earth had a chemically reducing atmosphere. This atmosphere, exposed to energy in various forms, produced simple organic compounds ("monomers"). These compounds accumulated in a "soup", which may have been concentrated at various locations (shorelines, oceanic vents etc.). By further transformation, more complex organic polymers – and ultimately life – developed in the soup.
what produced the oxygen in the atmosphere?	Plants and algae.
What did most of the carbon dioxide get locked up in?	Sedimentary rocks as carbonates and fossil fuels.
How did limestone form?	limestone was formed from the shells and skeletons of marine organisms.
