Define hydrocarbon
a compound made up of hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms
1 of 27
define crude oil
made up of different hydrocarbons and used as fuel. it is an infinte resource
2 of 27
define fossil fuels
made using heat and pressure. made up of hydrogen and carbon
3 of 27
name 7 other ways of generating fuels
geothermal, wind, solar, hydroelectric,waves,biomass and nuclear
4 of 27
Define alkanes
series of hydrocarbon which is saturated and has a single covelant bond
5 of 27
give an example of a alkane
methane: CH¬4
6 of 27
name all alkanes
methane, ethane, propane, butane
7 of 27
define alkenes
series of hydrocarbons which are unsaturatedwith a double covelant bond
8 of 27
what is the formulae for alkanes
c¬nH¬2n+2
9 of 27
what is the formulae for alkenes
C¬nH¬2n
10 of 27
name some alkenes
ethene, propene, butene
11 of 27
define ionic bonding
ionic bonding is bonding between a metal and a non-metal (transferring)
12 of 27
define a covelant bonding
covelant bonding is bonding between two non-metals (sharing)
13 of 27
define fractional distillation
the seperation of the different hydrogens in hydrocarbons
14 of 27
explain method of fractional distillatioin
heat oils. oils evaporate. then condense at different points
15 of 27
explain the difference between longa nd shrot hydrocarbon chains
long-high bp,not flammable,not very votile,
16 of 27
define combustion
combustion is the burning of fuels
17 of 27
what are the terms of complete combustion
excess oxygen, more energy, water + c02 produced
18 of 27
what are the terms of incomplete combustion
limited oxygen, small energy produced, water + carbon monoxide crabon produced
19 of 27
which practical tests for water
blue cobalt chloride paper
20 of 27
what does limewater practical test for?
carbon dioxide
21 of 27
what practical tests for alkene
bromine water
22 of 27
define cracking
makeing longer hydrocarbon chains shorter for more demand
23 of 27
name the two types of cracking methods
steam and catalytic
24 of 27
explain catalytic cracking
catalytic cracking is pass vapour over catalyst
25 of 27
explain steam cracking
steam at high temperatures
26 of 27
describe bromine test with alkene
colourless
