| What are the 2 Important Bonds in Crude Oil? | -The Strong Covalent Bonds that's in the Hydrocarbon Molecule
-The Intermolecular Forces that hold the Different Hydrocarbons in the Mixture |
| Why can Fractional Distillation work with Crude Oil? | -As the Mixture is heated up, the Molecules have more Energy and can move About
-A Molecule may eventually be able to Overcome the Intermolecular Forces, making it a Gas
-However, the Covalent Bonding still remains, as it needs more Energy to Overcome
-And that's why the Smaller Hydrocarbons are the Easiest to break off, as they have less Points to have Intermolecular Forces compared to bigger Hydrocarbons C₄₅H₉₂ [This gives them their Higher Boiling Points |
| What does Crude Oil provide Modern Life? Is the Usage Increasing? | -It is simply the Supplier for Vital Things, eg Electricity, Heating and going to Portugal for a Half Term [Kerosene]
-Oil powers the Transportation pretty much, without Oil then it would be a lot Harder to get to Places
-The Usage is Increasing, due to Places like Nigeria, India and China have very Large Population Growths, which means more Electricity for Homes, and Heating as well as Car Fuel...... |
| Why will Crude Oil run out? What can this lead to? What can we do? | -Crude Oil is Limited, and therefore is a Non-Renewable Resource
-We can find New Reserves, but it'll simply Run Out soon
-Finding Alternatives to replace what Crude Oil provides eg Oil is very Essential , especially Now as leaving it Later means we may be too Late
-Conflict can be Established due to people Arguing about where Oil should be Used.[Example] Plastic Production or Literally No where? |
