5.12 I can recall the problems associated with fractional distillation of crude oil

Read chemistry for you page 145

a) when crude oil undergoes fractional distillation there are too many long chain hydrocarbons (eg bitumen     ) produced and not enough shorter chain hydrocarbons (eg refinery gases)
b) to solve these problems the large chain hydrocarbons undergo a chemical reaction called cracking.

5.11 I can recall how nitrogen oxides are formed in car engines

a.       Write the general equation for the combustion of a fuel : fuel + oxygen -----> energy + oxides

b.      During combustion the nitrogen in air can react to form what gases? NOx gases

c.       What condition is necessary for the formation of these gases? high temperature

d.      In what common object is this condition found? in cars

e.      Why is this condition needed for nitrogen to react? they nitrogen molecules are diatomic and have triple covalent bonds 

f.        What are the dangers of the products from this reaction? asthma, cancers, acid rain

5.7 how is crude oil separated

5.10 recall that incomplete combustion of fuels may produce carbon monoxide and explain that carbon monoxide is poisonous because it reduces the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen

What are the properties of carbon monoxide? Clear, odorless gas, cant see it, highly poisonous

Explain how carbon monoxide is formed? Through incomplete combustion when there is insufficient oxygen

Explain why carbon monoxide is poisonous? it binds very strongly to hemoglobin, when it attaches, it is very difficult to release, when you breath in carbon monoxide, it sticks to your hemoglobin and takes up the oxygen binding sites. and your blood loses ability to transport oxygen, and you suffocate.

5.9 describe the trend in boiling point and viscosity of the main fractions

a.       What is the trend in boiling point of the fractions?        as you go lower the fractions the boiling point gets higher             

b.      Define viscosity      the thickness of a liquid       

c.      What is the trend in viscosity of the fractions?   higher viscosity towards the bottom of the fractionating column 
      What is the trend in colour of the fractions?        colour gets darker when fractions have a higher viscosity

e.      Why is crude oil separated into fractions?      Crude oil on its own its useless, when extracted it has lots of uses

f.        What process is used to separate crude oil into fractions? Fractional distillation

g.       What physical property allows this process to work? each fraction has  adifferent boiling point

5.8 I can recall the names and uses of the main fractions obtained from crude oil

f

5.6 I can recall what crude oil is made from.

2.       Read pg 139 (down to word plastics) Chem 4 You

a. Define the word hydrocarbon….	compound of hydrogen and carbon
b. What is crude oil made from?	several hydrocarbons and plants and animals from millions of years ago
c. Define the word compound….	2 or more different elements chemically bonded together
d. Define the word mixture…..	several compounds or elements not chemically bonded

4.       Read pgs 140 & 141 Chem 4 You and add these to the table above

d. How long does crude oil take to make?	about 150,000,000 years
e. Where does the energy in crude oil originally come from?	the sun
f. How is crude oil different from coal?	crude oil came from plants and animals from the sea and oil came from trees that were under swamps and crude oil is a hydrocarbon and oil is not
g. Crude oil, coal and natural gas are collectively known as _________ fuels	fossil
h. How is crude oil transported when it is extracted from the ground?	either pipeline or with oil tankers which bring the oil around the world
