Petroleum A 1 Flashcardspp. 176-182
Use the chart on pg. 177 to answer some of these
questions.
nucleus
-central region of an atom containing protons & neutrons.
State the relationship between the number of carbon atoms and
boiling points.
-the fewer number of carbons will always have a lower boiling
point.
State the density, boiling point, & viscosity for those compounds with a low number of carbon atoms
(like C2H6 ) .
C2H6
-Low viscosity-Low density-Low boiling
point
List 4 households items made from petroleum.
Plastic containers, synthetic fibers, medicines, detergents, cosmetics, adhesives, etc.
List 3 useful products derived from petroleum fractions.
Gasoline, jet fuel, alcohols, dyes, diesel oil and fuel, asphalt, paraffin, greases
State the density, viscosity, & boiling points for those compounds with a high number of carbon atoms (like C30H62 ).
C30H62
-High viscosity-High density-High boiling point
What is a hydrocarbon?
Give an example.
-molecular compounds that contain only two elements, C & H
-CH4, C6H14
Name three petroleum based products in this room.
Paint, ceiling tiles, seat covers, bulletin boards, etc.
What is a fractionating tower?
Tower used to distill petroleum and separate it into different fractions. They separate by differences in boiling points and by the number of carbon atoms.
Where in a distillation tower would you find petroleum fractions with:
a)Low boiling pointsb) high boiling points
a) at the topb) at the bottom
Who has more petroleum then they use?
Central and South America, Middle east, and Africa
Who imports oil?
North America, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia and Oceania
Would materials with a low number of carbons be solid, liquid, or gas?
gas
Would materials with a high number of carbons be solid, liquid, or gas?
solid
Are the intermolecular forces in compounds with a low # of carbons, strong or weak?
Weak intermolecular forces = low number of carbons.
Are the intermolecular forces in compounds with a high # of carbons, strong or weak?
Strong intermolecular forces = high number of carbons.
