To get smaller molecules that are more USEFUL (more flammable) and more in DEMANDġ) millions of year ago 2) plankton 3)covered by sand 4)no oxygen 5)heat and pressure Write the equation C10H22 -> C2H4 + C2H4 + C6H14 the number of carbon must be the same on both sides of the arrow The alkane is C6H14Įxplain why we need to crack long chain alkAnes

Write the equation for Decane (C10H22) being cracked into Ethene (C2H4) and a smaller AlkaneĬ10H22 -> C2H4 + C8H18 the number of carbon must be the same on both sides of the arrowĭecane (C10H22) can be cracked into 2 EthEne molecules and an AlkAne. VAPOURS of an AlkAne are passed over a HOT CATALYST What is the chemical test to distinguish between AlkAne and AlkEne?īromine water stays ORANGE with an alkane but goes from Orange to COLOURLESS with an AlkEneĮxplain how fractional distillation worksĬrude oil is heated to 350Â☌ crude oil boil the VAPOURS cool as it rises up the tower VAPOURS condense at different levels according to the size of the molecules: the smaller molecules have LOWER boiling point and condense at TOP of towerĭescribe the cracking procedure (experiment) What is the mnemotechnic to remember that AlkEnes are Unsaturated?ĭEUX: Double Ene Unsaturated X (no more colour) What is the reaction where a long chain alkane breaks down into a shorter chain alkane and an Alkene?ĭraw the correct number of carbons in a chain join them with single links draw links so that each Carbon has FOUR links (no more, no less)ĭraw the correct number of carbons in a chain join TWO carbons with a DOUBLE link join the other carbons with single links draw links so that each Carbon has FOUR links (no more, no less) Which type of Hydrocarbons will make Bromine Water change colour? How long are the chains?Ĭh4 is the formula for a member of which family? The gases fraction contains chains of carbons.
