- Chemistry- Fuels from Oil
- Alkenes
- C(n)H(2n)
- Always has a double bond between 2 carbons
- Very reactive
- Therefore Alkenes are more useful than Alkanes
- Crude Oil
- Raw material extracted from ground
- Alkanes
- C(n)H(2n+2)
- Good for fuels
- Not overly reactive
- Therefore Alkenes are more useful than Alkanes
- Naming hydrocarbons
- Meth - 1 carbon present
- Eth - 2
- Prop - 3
- But - 4
- Pent - 5
- Incomplete combustion
- When something burns too fast for enough oxygen to be supplied
- Can result in Carbon Monoxide (eg)
- 2C + O2 --> 2CO
- Not enough oxygen has been used
- 2C + O2 --> 2CO
- Can result in Carbon Monoxide (eg)
- When something burns too fast for enough oxygen to be supplied
- Combustion
- Requirements of fire
- Heat/energy supply
- Presence of oxygen
- Burnable material
- Material has to evaporate and mix with oxygen in the air before it can combust
- Requirements of fire
- Alkenes
