- Organic Chemistry
- Hydrocarbons
- Only contain Hydrogen and Carbon atoms
- Alkanes all have C-C single bonds
- Alkanes: Simpliest type of hydrogen you can get
- Homologous Series: Group of organic compounds that react in a similar way
- Saturated Compounds
- First four alkanes: Methane, Ethane, Propane and Butane
- Hydrocarbon Proporties change as the chain its longer
- Shorter=more runny, less viscous, lower boiling points, different uses
- Complete combustion: occurs when there's plenty of oxygen
- hydrocarbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water
- During combustion, both carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon are oxidised
- Fractional Distllation
- Used to separate hydrocarbon fractions
- How it works
- Oil is heated until most of it is turned to gas . The gases enter a fractional column
- Hydrocarbons
