Petroleum: What is it?
A molecule of only hydrogen and carbon atoms
What is a hydrocarbon?
The term for this is viscosity.
What is the term for the resistance of a substance to flowing?
This is an alkane based on it's bonds to other atoms.
What is a saturated hydrocarbon with maximum hydrogens bonded?
This is the property of Alkanes and Alkanes that allows them to act as good monomers.
What are multiple bonds to the same carbon (double or triple bonds) that can be broken?
These are the four products of EVERY combustion reaction
What are water, co2, light, and heat?
This type of bond, found in hydrocarbons, shares electrons between two atoms.
What is a covalent bond?
This is why petroleum cannot be separated by decanting or filtering, based on the type of mixture it is.
The components of petroleum evenly distributed into a homogeneous mixture causing what?
This is the molecular formula for a alkane with 2 carbons and 6 hydrogens.
What is C2H6 ?
A hydrocarbon alkyne with 9 carbons (Non-) would have this name.
What is a Nonyne?
This is a product of only incomplete combustion and not complete combustion.
What is ash?
Bio-molecules of once living prehistoric plants and animals form this.
This is the property used to separate mixtures in Distillation.
What is the boiling point?
This is an isomer based on the similarity and difference between hydrocarbons.
What is a hydrocarbon with the same formula (composition) but a different structure?
This is why carbon is an ideal builder molecule.
What does carbon having the maximum amount of spaces to bond with (4) cause it to be ideal for?
Combustion is this type of thermic process.
What is exothermic ?
This is the number one use of petroleum.
What is energy production (Fuel and Electricity?)
This is not one of Crude Oil's general fractions.
What is the coal fraction?
This is an alkane with no end carbons, that has a circular shaped structure.
This is the term for certain elements or compounds that are added to hydrocarbons to give them new properties (like alcohols, esters, and Carboxylic acids.)
What are functional groups?
The action that releases energy as kinetic energy
What is bond formations effects on energy?
This is where petroleum, natural gas, and coal originally obtained the stored potential energy in their bonds.
What is prehistoric sunlight?
This is a fraction and the three properties that distinguish them from other fractions.
What are smaller compounds of hydrocarbons with similar numbers of carbons, boiling points, and viscosity?
This is the difference in boiling point between a straight chain alkane and a branched alkane due to the branched Alkanes smaller surface area.
Why does a branched alkane have a lower boiling point than a straight chain alkane?
This kind of reaction is when double or triple bonds are broken to add onto the structure
What is a addition reaction?
This is usually the limiting reactant in combustion.
What is oxygen?
