Fossil Fuels & Fractional Distillation

Fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, petroleum) release heat energy when burned.
Petroleum (crude oil) is a mixture of hydrocarbons separated by fractional distillation.
Fractional distillation separates fractions by boiling point in a column with a temperature gradient (hot at bottom, cool at top).
Fractions include: refinery gas (heating/cooking), gasoline (car fuel), naphtha (chemicals), diesel (diesel engines), bitumen (road surfacing).
As chain length increases down the column, boiling point increases due to stronger intermolecular forces.

Fractional distillation of petroleum

Alkanes

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with only single C–C bonds and general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂.
They are colourless, generally unreactive due to strong single covalent bonds.
Complete combustion of alkanes produces CO₂ and H₂O (e.g., CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O).
First five members: methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈), butane (C₄H₁₀), pentane (C₅H₁₂).

Butane, an alkane

Alkenes & Cracking

Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one C=C double bond and general formula CₙH₂ₙ.
The C=C bond makes alkenes more reactive than alkanes; it can open to form new bonds.
Cracking breaks long-chain alkanes into shorter alkanes, alkenes, and H₂ using high temperature (600–700 °C) and a catalyst (Al₂O₃ or SiO₂).
Example: decane → octane + ethene (C₁₀H₂₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₂H₄).
Cracking increases supply of useful fuels (e.g., petrol) and produces alkenes for polymers.

Test for Alkenes

Alkenes are identified by adding aqueous bromine (bromine water), which is orange.
Alkane: no colour change (remains orange).
Alkene: decolourises (orange → colourless) because bromine adds across the C=C bond.

Bromine water test for alkanes and alkenes

Addition Reactions (Extended)

Addition reactions involve atoms adding across the C=C double bond, forming a single saturated product.
Alkene + bromine → dibromoalkane (e.g., ethene + Br₂ → 1,2-dibromoethane).
Alkene + hydrogen (with Ni catalyst) → alkane (e.g., ethene + H₂ → ethane).
Alkene + steam (with acid catalyst) → alcohol (hydration; e.g., ethene + H₂O → ethanol).

Addition reaction of ethene and bromine

Alcohols

Alcohols contain the hydroxyl (–OH) functional group and have general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₁OH.
First three: methanol (CH₃OH), ethanol (C₂H₅OH), propanol (C₃H₇OH).
Ethanol is used in alcoholic drinks, as a fuel, and as a solvent.
Ethanol undergoes complete combustion: C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O.
