Resource summary
C1: Carbon Chemistry
C1a: Making Crude Oil Useful
Fossil fuels are finite reasources and are non renewable
Finite reasources are no longer being made or being made extremely slowly
Non renewable reasources are being used up faster than they are being made
Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons
All the readily extractable reasources will be used up in the future
Finding Replacements
Conflict between petrochemicals and fuels
Environmental problems involved in the transport of crude oils
Damage to Bird feathers causing death
Use of detergents to clean up oil spills and consequent damage to wild life
Political problems associated with crude oil
UK dependant on oil and gas from politically unstable countries
Future supply issues
Cracking - help match supply to demand
Fractional Disstillation
1. Crude oil is heated
2. Use of fractioning column which has a temperature gradient
3. Fractions containing mixtures of hydrocarbons obtained
4. fractions contain many substances with similar boiling points
5. Fractions with low boiling points exit form the top, high boiling points leave from the bottom
In a hydrocarbon molecule there are:
Strong covalent bonds between atoms
Weak intermolecular forces
Intermolecular forces between longer hydrocarbons are stronger than shorter
Intermolecular forces can break but covalent bonds don't
Cracking is a process that converts large alkane molecules into smaller alkene and alkane molecules
Makes useful alkene molecules into polymers
