- Crude Oil
- Uses
- Provides fuel for modern transport
- Petrochemicalindustry uses hydrocarbons from crude oil as feedstock for new compounds
- All products from crude oil are organic compounds
- Compounds containing carbon atoms
- What is it?
- Formed by the remains of plants and animals
- With high temperature and pressure. Drilled up from under rocks
- Fossil Fuel
- Formed by the remains of plants and animals
- Method of cracking
- Cracking is a thermal decomposition reaction
- Breaking down molecules by heating them
- STEP 1: heat the long chained hydrocarbons to vaporise them
- STEP 2: then vapour is passed over a hot powdered aluminium oxide catalyst
- STEP 3: Long chain molecules split apart on the surface of the specks of the catalyst
- Catalytic Cracking
- STEP 3: Long chain molecules split apart on the surface of the specks of the catalyst
- STEP 2: then vapour is passed over a hot powdered aluminium oxide catalyst
- Cracking is a thermal decomposition reaction
- Cracking: splitting up long-chain hydrocarbons
- Longchained hydrocarbons aren't always very useful so...
- They are turned into smaller ones by the process of cracking
