- making crude oil useful
- fossil fuels
- finite resources,non renewable
- finite nature of crude oil problems
- readily extractable resources used up in future
- finding replacements
- fractional distillation
- oil that doesnt boil sinks at the bottom-bitumen (high boiling point
- others with similar boiling points, boil and their gases rise upthe column
- crude oil is a hydrocarbon
- can be separated because hydrocarbons in different fractions have differently sized molecules
- strong intermolecular forces=high boiling point
- can be separated because hydrocarbons in different fractions have differently sized molecules
- extracring crude oil problems
- oil slickes-damaged birds' feathers and death
- detergents used to clean damage wildlife
- UK dependent on oil and gas from pollitically unstable countries
- oil producing nations can set high prices
- high demand for oil and its products
- conflict between needs for making petrochemicals and fuels
- oil slickes-damaged birds' feathers and death
- Cracking
- turns large alkane molecules into smaller alkane and alkene molecules
- helps manufacturers match supply with demand for products like petrol
- fossil fuels
