what is fossil fuel ?
They are a finite resource because they are no longer being made or and being made extremly slowley
1 of 40
what is crude oil ?
They are a mixture of many types of oil , which are all "hydrocarbons".
2 of 40
What is a hydrocarbon ?
A hydrocarbon is made up of molecules containing carbon and hydrogren only .
3 of 40
How is crude oil seperated ?
Crude oil can be seperated ecause the hydrocarbons in diffrenet fractions have diffrenly sizes molecules
4 of 40
What is cracking ?
It is the process thatr turns large alkane molecules into smaller alkane and alkene molecules
5 of 40
What does cracking help with ?
Cracking helps with oil manufactorers match supply and demand for products.

1)LPG 2) petrol 3) paraffin 4) diesel 5) heating oil 6) fuel oils 7) bitumen
7 of 40
why are fossil fuels being burnt more ?
They are being burnt more to higher demand from a rising population
8 of 40
What does burning hydrocarbon fuel with plenty of air produce ?
Carbon dioxide and water - Methene+oxygen->carbon dioxide + water
9 of 40
When does complete combustion occur ?
when fuel is burnt in plenty of oxygen
10 of 40
when is toxic gas made ?
Toxic gas is made during incomplete combustion
11 of 40
What is the word equation for incomplete combustion?
fuel + oxygen ->carbon monoxide + water
12 of 40
what is the balanced symbol equation for complete combustion ?
CH4+2O2 ->CO2 + 2H2O
13 of 40
what is the balanced symbol equation for incomplete combustion ?
2CH4+3O2->2CO+4H2O

how much co2 is in the air ?
0.035%
17 of 40
What factors increase CO2 input ?
deforestation and increase in population
18 of 40
what does a catalist converter do ?
It converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide
19 of 40
what is degassing ?
a process where gases come throught the volcanoes on the earth
20 of 40
what damage can sulfer dioxide have onyour body ?
cause difficulty to breath and it can dissolve water into acid rain which effects limeston and wildlife
21 of 40
what are alkenes ?
a hydrocarbon with a singluar covalent bonds
22 of 40
What are alkenes ?
a hydrocarbon which has a double covalent bond between 2 carbon atoms
23 of 40
What does bromine water do ?
It is a water which is used to test for alkenes when alkenes are found the water turns clear from its orangey state
24 of 40
what does adiition polimerisation need ?
The reaction needs high pressure and a catalyst
25 of 40
What compound is formed when bromine water test is possitive ?
A dibromo comp[ound is formed
26 of 40
How can you recognise a polymer ?
You can reconise the compound fromits displayed formula

what is PTFE?
a polyurethane mambrane but it is fragile and has to be laminated with nilon
30 of 40
what are the properties of plastic ?
It is weak intermeleculor forces between polymer molecules and has a low melting point
31 of 40
What does denaturing mean ?
The changing shape of molecules or anything .
32 of 40
what happens when you cook a potato?
The starch grains will swellup and spread out and the cell walls will rupture resultion in loss of their ridgid structure and a soft texture is produced
