1 of 17
why are fossil fuels a non-renewable source?
as they are being used faster than they are being formed -
2 of 17
what are the specific difficulties associated with crude oil?
-readily extractable resources will be used up in future and finding replacements
3 of 17
what is hydrocarbons made up of?
lots of different of different molecules containing carbon and hydrogen only
4 of 17
what is crude oil a mixture of?
many types of oils
5 of 17
where is crude oil heated on a fractionating column?
on the bottom

what is bitumen?
oil that doesn't boil, sinks that sinks to the bottom
7 of 17
it has a very ................
high boiling point
8 of 17

cooler, hotter
10 of 17
why can crude oil be separated?
hydrocarbons in different fractions have different sized molecules
11 of 17
what is breaking during boiling?

12 of 17
a lot of ...... is needed to break the molecules of bitumen and heavy oils
energy
13 of 17
why are the molecules easily separated in a substance like petrol?
as they have weak attractive forces
