What is cracking ?
Cracking is the splitting up of long-chain hydrocarbons.
1 of 21
Give a typical example of a substance that is cracked and the products that you get from cracking it.
Diesil is cracked to form PETROL, PARAFFIN and ETHENE for plastics.
2 of 21
What kind of carbon-carbon bond do alkenes have ?
Double bond
3 of 21
What is the general formula for alkenes ?
C2H4

What are ploymers? What kinds of substances can form polymers?
Polymers are long-chain molecules. Ethene molecules can be joined up to produce poly(ethene).
5 of 21
Give two factors which affects the physical properties of a polymer.
What it's made from and The tempreature and pressure.
6 of 21
List four uses of polymers.
LYCRA , TOOTH FILLINGS , BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING and MEMORY FOAM.

Why might poolymers be more expensive in the future?
As crude oil recources get used up, the prices will rise.
8 of 21
Why do some oils need to be distilled after they have been extracted?
To refine the oil and remove water, solvents and impurities.
9 of 21
List two advantages of cooking with oil.
They provide a lot of energy and they contain essential fatty acids.

What kind of carbon-carbon bond do saturated oils contain?
Double bonds.
11 of 21
What happens when you react unsaturated oils with hydrogen?
They're hardened
12 of 21
What is an emulsion? Give an example.
An emullsion is a substance that doesnt mix with other substances.
13 of 21
How do emulsifiers keep emulsions stable ?
Then stop them from naturally seperating out.
14 of 21
Suggest one problem with adding emulsifiers to food.
Some people are allergic to emulifiers.

Give one reason why Alfred Wegners theory of continental drift wasn't accepted for a long time.
He used inacurate data in his calculations.

What can be found beneath the earths crust?
Mantle

Why can't scientists accurately pedict volcanoes and earthquakes ?
Tetonic plates can stay in place for a while and then suddenly lurch forwards and its impossible to predict when.
18 of 21
Name the two main gasses that make up the earths atmosphere today.
Nitrogen and Oxygen
19 of 21
Explain why todays atmosphere is different from the earths early atmosphere.
The earths surface was originoly molten so any atmosphere just "boiled away".
