Hydrocarbons; petroleum through fractional distillation to become:
bitumen [ road surfaces],
lubricating oils [ waxes and polishes ],
diesel [ fuel] ,
paraffin [ aircraft engines ],
naphtha [feedstock for the chemical industry ],
petrol [ fuel in cars ] ,
petroleum gas [ heating and cooking].
ALKANES
saturated compounds.
no c-c double bond.
doest not decolourise aqueous bromine
burn in excess oxygen to give water and CO2
react with chlorine in the presence of ultraviolet light to form a substitution reaction.
ALKENES
unsaturated compounds
c-c double bond.
general formula ratio of 1:2
decolourises bromine
produces more soot[carbon monoxide,pollutant lai de] than alkanes if incomplete combustion do take place
Cracking is beneficial as they break large alkane/ alkene molecules into smaller ones by heat and that produces hydrogen in the course of reaction.
Main continent in natural gas- Methane.
From bitumen to petroleum gas, the b.p decreases and that's the main reason for the distillation.
