- Making Crude Oil Useful (C1)
- Fossil Fuels
- Crude Oil, coal and natural gas
- Examples
- Formed naturally over millions of years
- Non-renewable and easily extracted from other substances
- It is also finite, which means it is being used much faster that it is being replaced
- Non-renewable and easily extracted from other substances
- Crude Oil
- Found in the earths crust and is transported via pipes or in oil tankers
- Detergents are used to break up oil slicks, but these chemicals are toxic and can harm or kill wildlife
- Found in the earths crust and is transported via pipes or in oil tankers
- Fractional Distillation
- Crude Oil
- Hydrocarbons have different boiling points.This can be made into useful fractions.
- This process is called Fractional Distillation
- The process is a tube, in which the lower part is the higher boiling points and the top is the cooler boiling points
- Hydrocarbons have different boiling points.This can be made into useful fractions.
- Crude Oil
- Cracking
- Hydrocarbon molecules can be described as alkanes or alkenes
- Large alkane molecules can be broken down into smaller, more useful, alkene and alkane molecules
- Hydrocarbon molecules can be described as alkanes or alkenes
- Fossil Fuels
