Chemistry:
Crude oilCrude oil is a none-renewable (finite) resource
...
Most of the compounds in crude oil are hydrocarbons
...
Crude oil is formed from the fossilised remains of ancient planktons
...

(hydrogen and carbon)
We call them saturated hydrocarbon as they only contain single bonds with atoms
...
We call these groups of hydrocarbons “fractions”
...
There are many organic (carbon-containing) compounds because carbon atoms can form families of
similar compounds
...
Changes;
*evaporation
*condensation
Cracking and alkanes:
Burning hydrocarbons : the equations for the combustion (burning) of hydrocarbons depends on the
amount of oxygen that is available
...
carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, toxic gas
...
Heavy fractions of crude oil do not make good fuels because they: have low volatility, have high
boiling points, don’t ignite easily
...
Vaporised heavy hydrocarbons are mixed with steam in high temp environment
...
e
...
decane-octane +ethane
