What is incomplete combustion?
This occurs when fuel burns in limited oxygen
4 of 10
Consequences of inhaling carbon monoxide?
Death, Nausea, headaches
5 of 10
What is Fractional distillation?
This happens to separate crude oil with similar boiling points
6 of 10
Which hydrocarbons are more useful?
Shorter hydrocarbons are more useful for fuel then larger hydrocarbons as shorter molecules are more flammable.
7 of 10
Equation for complete combustion
methane+oxygen = carbon dioxide+water
8 of 10
Equation for incomplete combustion
methane+oxygen = carbon+water monoxide
9 of 10
Why is crude oil not important on its why?
