GCSE Crude oil & Fractional distillation(fractionnation)

suitable years 10 &11

AB
crude oil - wide boiling rangemixture
contain hydrogen and carbon onlyhydrocarbon
hydrocarbon long chains have ...high boiling point
hydrocarbon short chains have..low boiling point
viscosity - long chainsvery viscous
viscosity short chainslow viscosity
fractionating column - topshort chains
fractionating column - bottomlong chains
fuel gas molecules have ...1-4 carbons
bitumen chain length is...very long
bitumen used for...road surfacing
kerosene fraction used for ...aviation fuel
fractionnation possible because hydrocarbons have....different boiling points
the longer the chain length ..the higher the boiling point
the shorter the chain length....the lower the boiling point
the lower the boiling pointthe shorter the chain length
the higher the boiling pointthe longer the chain length
burning time for short chains is ...short
burning time for long chains is ..long
short chains catch firequickly
long chains catch fireless quickly
short chains evaporation rate is ...high
long chains evaporation rate is...low
diesel evaporates more slowly than petrol because ......its chains are longer
a fraction is a mixture because...it boils over a range of temperature
in fractionnation the crude oil is vapourised and thenallowed to cool down
the gasoline fraction is used for..car fuel
not enough gasoline to meet world demand so ...need to crack fractions in lower demand
